Side note: Most regular insurances (equipment, health, etc.) do not cover losses or damage in areas of war.

Better check with your production what´s covered and what isn´t. Better have that in writing or use their equipment. Also check the small print in your life-insurance etc. etc.

Equipmentwise you can be sure that you be close to a power source once in a while (unless they use a fully manual film camera that can run with a wind-up spring ;-) )

Ask them how much batteries they plan for the camera and budget at least for the equivalent run-time for your batteries. After that you can be sure the camera has to re-charge too and return to some place with power.

Are you recording double-system or straight to camera?
