Re: dvx handle
Use gaffers, not duct. No residue.
The handle is hard plastic and won't be "damaged" or eroded by any tape I've ever used or seen. The only question is a sticky residue.

i used to use a vx2000 to shoot live shows in an auditorioum. we had to gaff tape the wires to the handle so they wouldnt snag. this year i'll be using my dvx

Camera tape is the safest to use. Gaffer tape is good, but it will take off the lettering on your DVX ( I know because I tape down my scene dial and it now has no letters
)

Re: dvx handle
yes.. which is my point, a 1/4" strip is alot easier to pull off and will affect less surface area than a 2" slab of gaffer tape. to tape wires down, thats all you need.

goo gone. the weak version. not the nuclear stuff. removes sticky residue. Just watch those letters. Test first on inconspicuous spot? Denatured alcohol will also prob work as mentioned. Tho I use that stuff mostly for cooking when backpacking..
