Height makes it completely useless
on February 6, 2022

Both stem pieces are the same length and each has different fittings, so you have to use both, making it ridiculously tall when sitting on a couch and trying to see through the lens.
I need to sit on my couch and have the lens between my eyes and my hands to make this useful. MAJOR disappointment! Why do they not either make the flexible part start immediately at the joint, or include two lengths of at least one of the stem pieces, so you can make it a functional height? This doesn't start to bend until it's already at my eye height (and I'm not short), so trying to get the goose neck down to a workable height is impossible.
Also the goose neck is not long enough, as sitting at one end of my couch, with the lamp beside me, the lens only reaches across me to my shoulder...nowhere NEAR close to the middle of my body where it needs to be for clear vision.
This is an expensive lamp, and everyone seems to rave about it. I'm incredibly disappointed at the lack of functionality of it. It's sturdy, and seems well made, but if the proportions are all wrong and cannot be adjusted, what's the point?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
