Buenos Aires... traveling w. gear tips?

[Mat_G]

Any tips, things to be aware of when traveling to Buenos Aires with gear?

Not a lot of gear, about 2 airline size Lowe Pro bags of stuff.

I'd get a Carnet (essentially a passport for your gear). Otherwise, you could get hit with import taxes there and on your return back to your home country.

A local producer/fixer is a great assset.

Make sure you're traveling with 100w/h batteries or less in w/h (can take unlimited amount) and up to 3 160w/h (or below - 100-160wh) batteries. One of those needs to be left on the camera.

Also...make sure you have the appropriate power adapters. A lot of nice hotels will have them, but they can be found pretty cheap on Amazon.
