Make sure your PM has a wad of cash to pay off the blood sucking local powers that be. Graft is a way of life in that country.

I'd have a look at this thread:

Obviously, lots of people are using Red and are happy with it. But not everyone, so if you are asking about things to be aware of, this mysterious codec fault has to be one of them.

Of course make sure you understand your post options, especially if you are shooting 16:9. That is temporarily unsupported by Quicktime and Red Alert, but "temporary" has been some five months now.

Cars getting broken into when you go into town is something to be aware of. We've had our SUVs broken into a couple times down there, in northern Baja (San Felipe area).

Where in Mexico are we talking about?
