It silences those annoyingly chatty models very effectively..

I do the exact same thing in this video, but I use a prescription bottle. It’s bigger, so rolling a few yards onto it is easier, and the bottle can hold other small things you may need. I posted about it on my blog when I first started it.

It’s definitely cheaper than buying the mini rolls.

I use it to tape wires to the carpet rather than duct tape (which leaves a residue that really annoys people). Keeps folks from tripping and calling 1-800-lawyers.

I also use bright yellow gaffers tape and run a small strip on everything I own. When shooting with others it makes it easy to spot my stuff.

Finally, I run a long strip down the sides of my tripod legs (to the first joint). Easier to strip off and re-use than something rolled around a pen or such.
