johngooch Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I do not think this has been covered before. I have friend going to cuba on monday- one man band producer/director/camera/sound/location manager etc.... He is going to bring a single wireless unit-- ( not sure which one- maybe a polsen-- never heard of it.. I told him you get what you pay for... ) Regulations for visitors bringing wireless gear? Anybody have any first hand experience.... Thanks. john. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 When I went there about 2 years ago I was told wireless was forbidden. I brought some in anyway and nobody checked - but we had a really good local fixer who got us ushered through customs. If we didn't have the fixer our gear would have been looked at I'm sure. I was prepared to say they were microphone power supplies and production was prepared to pay for them if they got confiscated. Good luck.

johngooch Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thanks Jack, my friend has no local fixer- going in as tourist. Just a dslr and backpack. No crew. And from i have read about the rules--- no wireless gear at all. I was there in the mid 90s. No real fixer ( a friend in the polish embassy..) No carnet.... no issue with wireless. No real freedom either. Locked down in our hotel for several days.... and took all our producers cash at the end of the trip-- then we got our passports back....

daniel Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 The production i worked on in cuba managed to bring in vr field, mm400s, walkie talkies etc. I don't remember the freqs but i don't think you'll have much in the way of other radio users to contend with. dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Wielage Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I hear the jukeboxes and old cars are great... They gotta open it back up to the mobs, gambling, and American hotels, like they did in the 1950s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
