Matthias Richter Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I have to give the Canford service dep especially Laura and Gavin a big Thank You for their ongoing support and service! I had some trouble with a brand new Panamic Maxi 3seg. There was some handling noise that could not be stopped no matter how we adjusted the end stops. Although Canford could not recreate that noise at the factory they sent me a new replacement. Unfortunately this new pole showed the same noise under certain circumstances. After another trip to the factory with the support of me recording videos and audio clips they finally found the culprit: a small defect in the bore of the carbon fibre. They even cut the handle segment in half to identify the problem. Now I am confident as before and all my Panamic poles will be our first choice! Thank you Laura and Gavin!!

henrimic Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Mathias, I Have worked with Ambient’s since many years and have been very satisfied with it. As you mentioned that Panamic is your first choice, could you explain for what reason? I have to replace an old Ambient but Panamic are only available on the Internet here in Switzerland and it’s tricky to buy a boom pole without trying it. Many thanks Henri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthias Richter Posted February 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 well I should have said: my Boom Ops first choice. I‘ve got Quickpoles too but my Boomers tend to go for the Panamic. I guess it’s because those poles feel really stiff like a rigid pole. Another difference are the end stops. Over time one can readjust the sliding mechanism. Although I‘m not sure if those end stops are not the reason for it in the first place. With Ambient all you‘ve got (to replace) is some velcro. Conclusion: there are advantages to both and again it comes down to personal preferences. So I got both brands and it’s up to the Boomer to pick and choose.

Many thanks Henri Hi Henri, We have distributors in Germany and Austria but unfortunately none in Switzerland... Are you planning to attend Prolight + Sound in Frankfurt by any chance? We could bring one out for you there, so you could try it out. If that's not an option for you, could you please contact Panamic and we could have a look in other options? Thanks, Vita Panamic Distribution Manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrimic Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hi Vita, I won't be at Prolight, but I've seen your booms are available at Audiosense in Brussels. I will visit them soon, I'll take the opportunity to try the Panamics. Thanks. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
