I too have experienced the bolt falling out of the base of a Diamond X-6000 tri band vertical, leaving it to spin in the mounting collar, ruining the N connection to the feedline.
Mine is only mounted at 20ft on a short mast and was up for around 8 months when I noticed the antenna had a sideways tilt when no wind was blowing.
We routinely get wind gusts up to and exceeding 60Mph in my area, due to the terrain being flat and close to the sea.
Upon pulling the antenna down, it became evident that the bolt had worked loose and fallen out.
The metal used in the antenna base and connector point is too soft and the thread in the metal is now to worn to allow the bolt to hold properly when I attempted to put it back in. It actually fell out again a few months later, even with Loctite applied.
I had to make modification to the antenna mounting collar and use a heavy duty hose clamp to secure the antenna into the mounting collar.
As stated above, the Diamond range of antennas are unsuitable for use in a heavy duty purpose such as a repeater, especially at sites where access is limited by terrain or site owner.
Diamond antennas will simply prove to be too problematic over the long term.
I have also experienced water ingress due to failure of sealing compounds used in the antenna base, mainly due to UV exposure and continual flexing of the antenna structure in the wind.
The only reason I continue to use the X-6000 is also due to lack of a commercial offering for 1.2Ghz.
