The camera just came back from a shoot, and somehow the handle that also mounts the eyepiece and mic is a bit loose ( i can move it left and right ever so slightly)

where are the screws to tighten it up?

Or is this a JVC repair job?

It's an entire handle assembly - you have to take the side off of the camera to get to the screws. It's not too difficult once you've located the screws.

And put a drop or two of Lock-tite on the screws so they don't come loose a gain.

are the screws for removing the side, on the side of the tape deck door?

have you done this before?

yes do tell - where are the screws hidden ? this is the first video camera I ever owned or worked with that I couldn't turn a couple of screws on to open up. I'd love to know
