Could probably stick some of that rubber matting stuff on the pole - you know the stuff old people use to open their marmalade jars. I bet you've got some in the kitchen drawer

The problem as I see it is that you don't always hold the base pole in the same place as sometimes you are working in a narrow path without much room and so adjust accordingly.

I've come across that and there are two solutions.

One is (as currently) I live with it and just use the pole normally.

Second is to have three of these on the pole.  In the unlikely event that H Man ever tells us how he made the thing, I'll have three and just use the handiest one.  I'm getting bored of asking him so I'm looking online at clips and brackets that would slip onto the pole quite easily.

WILL be making a video showing how we made these.
Also tried cutting the attachment long way as some body on here suggested.
Now you are able to move it in any position on your pole.
Holds on like a clip.
Busy this week though see if we can do it before the weekend.
