Ring Light
The soft tube is too stiff, and cannot be bent.
The soft tube (or gooseneck) is meant to be flexible, but still maintain position, and is not entirely soft as the name might suggest. It is used to allow the light to bend slightly in different directions and hold the desired position. Initially, the soft tube may be stiff and require some effort to bend, but will loosen some as you use it. The best way to bend the soft tube is by grabbing the light panel it is connected to and not grabbing the tube directly as can be seen here in the instructional video.
The light cannot be installed on the stand securely.
In order to secure the light on the stand properly, the black cap that may have come with the stand needs to be removed. This will allow the light to be mounted completely onto the stand. Once it is mounted completely, tighten the side knob until the light is snug on the stand. You can also see the setup instructionshere.
