Most camera chargers (certainly the XDCAM EX ones and most V-Lock) are multi voltage and should work almost anywhere, check the label on the charger or power supply. The same with laptop power supplies. If you are using full voltage tungsten lights then the easiest is to get some 110v bulbs otherwise I would suggest renting some locally.

If you have a high power device that is only compatible with 220-240v then you can ether get a step up voltage adapter (expensive) or buy a replacement power supply that will work at 110v.
