Loose Handle On Hd100 at DVinfo.net

Does anyone have a hint on how to tighten the handle back down or is this a job for the serviceman only.

The handle is doing a little more than standard duty as the cam has an IDX style v mount battery system on back and Mini35-400 attached most times.

it depends on your level of skill with a screwdriver, and it you have all the correct tools. basically you remove the tape side of the camera which is about 10 screws, including the tape door. then the 2 bolts which need to be tightened should be right in front of you. I am not certain if you need to access the other side, but I think if you open the one side, you can tighten it up. a drop of lokctite might not be a bad idea either. simple job if you have the skills and tools.
