Notes
1. Maybe the rotatable ball is a little bit firm at first, just trying a little hard to swivle the ball to make sure the it is loose enough.
2. Use the universal control knob to adjust the suitable angle for you, and tighten the ball.
3. There might be a little smelling of the rubber pad when taking it out of the box at first, and you could put it to somewhere airy to release the smell.
