JJ269J 0 #1 January 28, 2004 I just got a used (new to me) PC100. Does anyone know how to remove the hand strap without cutting it? I can remove the front side but what about the back side? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites dsbbreck 0 #2 January 28, 2004 It can be done. I'm not sure I'd recommend it unless your good at handling small components. I did it to my PC100. Open the cassete cover and look inside and you'll see some small screws in the door. Undo those and you can take the strap off. Be careful not to lose any parts though.

Just try to cut only one layer of the strap so if you want you can sew it back. That might help. Blues"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, It's the size of the fight in the dog!"

Just as a side note, I just bought a new TRV22 and decided not to take the chance and just cut off the handle. The chances of me ever selling it to someone else who will need the handle is slim to none.David "Socrates wasn't killed because he had the answer.......he was killed because he asked the question." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites D2216 0 #8 October 17, 2006 With the cassette door open and the battery removed, remove 5 tiny screws holding the dark blue plastic cassette cover to the outer metal frame. Then find and remove 2 tiny screws on the underside of the open metal cassette plate. Slide the plastic cassette cover up about 1/8th inch and it will separate from the metal frame. Take care not to damage the fragile, thin flat ribbon electronic connector tape. Locate and remove 1 tiny screw close to the inner grip strap. Lift the grip strap and slide the silver locking pin out of the grip strap. The grip strap is now free of the cassette cover. Replace and carefully tighten all 8 tiny screws.Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Yeah same thing, just screw the plastic cover off on the side that flips open when you put in a tape. You better have good eyesight and a good set of screwdrivers. It's a pretty damn fiddly job. You can also remove the pins where the straps go so it doens't stick out as far and you can mount the camera closer to your helmet. And, make sure you know how to put it toghether again. Take pictures along the way if you have to; don't come crying to me if you mess up.
