Matthias Richter Posted June 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 just bought another Panamic Maxi 3 seg. Was fine for 12 shooting days before it started creaking as all the ones before. I‘m done for good with this particular model. Something is off. Basically 4x different Maxi poles in 3 years and no solution to the creaking. It’s very annoying and sad.

JamesClark1991 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I'm using a Panamic Maxi on a job at the moment and at certain lengths of extension it 'clunks', especially when paddling between two people 🤦♂️. Not sure how old the pole is but it looks fairly new condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Rillie Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 maybe adjusting the knuckles will help... Also thorough cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinussound Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 I had to tighten the screw (panamic's 'quick release') at the top very tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 I have four Panamic poles dating back to 1987 and have no problems with them. As Jim mentioned above I keep them clean, even using a pull through to ensure that the inside of the pole is spotless. That and keeping the bushings adjusted and at times replacing the upper bushings has kept these poles amongst my favourites. I also placed an Ambient quick release on the end mainly to integrate with my cabled poles from other manufacturers and that enables me to keep the Panamic quick release tightened up at all times.
