How do the flexible legs work?

Troubleshooting
Phone grip feels too tight or too loose
Ensure your phone is within the compatible width range. If the grip feels stiff, gently work it back and forth a few times. If it feels loose, double-check that your phone is centered and securely held.
Ball head is difficult to adjust
Check for any obstructions or debris around the ball head mechanism. Gently try to loosen and re-tighten the main adjustment knob (if applicable) to reset the tension. Do not force the movement.
Legs do not hold position
Ensure the legs are not overly stretched or twisted. For best stability, wrap the legs around an object or position them on a stable surface. Check for any damage to the leg joints.
