At most I have to adjust one or two clamps just once a day.
On a previous pole I replaced the Nylock nuts with new ones when this started happen frequently and that worked for me.

I use thread lock in mine so never had a problem. When I do need to tighten one then I may have to get the hairdryer out again but it was the best time saving thing I have did on them.

Have you replaced the shims?

Makes a big difference. The shims take the wear before the pole does Aslong as they are replaced when needed.

I replace the shims and springs occasionally when the clamps begin to feel tightened to near the max and pole starts spinning.

pole is fairly new top section is badly worn due to the clamp nut working loose

Use a bit of threadlock on the bolt.
