Is it supposed to rattle when I shake it..? I got it out and it rattles.

It shouldn't because the sight would stay correct. Mine does it to and it loses its accuracy.

a small amount of rattle in single 18350 mode. no rattle in stacked 18350 mode. I drop mine every day though, so it may be looser than yours.

I have never had any rattling issue. My copy is very solid, plus the lock keeps it from "zoom creeping", although that has never been an issue either because the zoom ring is fairly tight to turn.

I just received my Royal 160MX, and the box was pretty banged up. There's definitely some kind of rattling noise. It's working fine though, but the rattling made me wonder the same thing... if it had arrived broken. So, I guess if you had the same problem and it's still working for you since 2009, I guess it's normal, huh?

I don't think rattling is good. I'd take it to a camera repair shop that you trust.

I checked mine. It has a light rattle if I shake it side to side (something I wouldn't normally do)

Maybe it possibly has been sitting forever and there is a big chunk in the bottom not breaking up with shaking. You could try using a long screw driver and stirring it to check. If not send it back. I recommend meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0

No, I didn't have a rattle with mine. I used it until I got a new air conditioner, which I really needed up here on the second floor. Mine was not noisy like that at all either. I could easily go to sleep with it on.

Roy. mine has always made that rattling sound ever since I've owned it for 17 years when you run stock through it. It shouldn't make it if there's (no load) stock running through it. Only thing I've had to change on it for all those years is a blade chuck and believe me I have done a lot of work on it. Hundreds of projects. Hope this helps.Tim

Hopefully by now you have resolved this problem. I would have said take it out and shake it, use some air cleaner and give it a good blow. Mine is perfect...............

No. I have not heard it rattle at all. The way it fits onto my car's (Honda Fit) headrest is pretty tight so there is no room for it to move and rattle.

I don't know what "a lot of rattling noise" is. My unit does make some noise, but it is not a rattling. It is more like the sound of the piston operating. I use my unit outside so, I may not be as aware of it.

Yes, the rattle is normal, that is the stabilization you hear. Nothing to worry about.

The one I had (and returned) did not rattle at all. I suspect yours is defective. One comment not picked up by the "Reviews" is that it's not easy/quick to release it from the window compared to the redline because of the position of the release button. Lot of deign/eng flaws.

Mine moves in and out 1/16" or less. There is NO internal sound, even if I shake it, unless I pull the trigger in which case I only hear the motor. -No rattling sound. The hammer action only actuates under load. If yours still functions correctly DeWalt tech support might have better information on the tolerances allowed and what exactly is worn out or loose.

No, it should never rattle! I think it depends as to whether you can hear a SMALL background whine or not. Mine is fine on the low speed, but has a very high-pitched background whine on the high speed. My husband can't hear it, but I can't stand it! Is yours still under warranty? Sounds like they should exchange it.

Yes, I've noticed that mine rattles too. When holding the camera in its normal "landscape" position and moving it forward and back, something inside sounds loose. But, this rattling goes away when the camera is turned ON. As you've observed, the camera seems fully functional. I plan to try to check with Panasonic customer support to see what they say before I return it. Do you have any new info?
