Rosco's 1" x 82' Gray Gaffer Tape is an industry staple. As anyone in the business will tell you, gaffer tape is something most photographers can't live without. This quality tape is manufactured from a premium cotton substrate coated with a heavy-duty vinyl. The tape exhibits a high tack which is what you want when you're trying to position lights, marking floor spots or securing cables. The last thing you want on a job is to have someone trip over a loose wire that was supposed to be held down but was carelessly held by an inferior piece of tape. To that end, Rosco tape features superb adhesion - and it doesn't leave a sticky residue when removed.
This is a non-reflective tape that is very easy to work with since it tears clean. Whether you are a working pro or rank amateur, a roll of this should be in every gear bag.
When you're on a job and something needs to be held firm, re-fastened or temporarily positioned, gaffer tape is the staple that photographers in-the-know turn to. Even if you don't want to carry around an entire roll, tear some off and wrap it around the leg of your tripod. It's a simple way to have it handy when you need it.
