Diffuser for Close-up and Macro

I recently bought a new diffuser for macro and close-up photography. It is the "Beetle Diffuser" and comes from a nice gentleman in India. It was an easy transaction and delivery and product good. I had to watch his YT video a couple of times to assemble the product but it came together nicely. I have included a (cellphone) photo of the diffuser mounted on my SB5000 and Z9 using a Z 105 MC lens. The diffuser has a built in LED light. I will buy a 5000ma battery for the LED as there is a provision to stick it to the diffuser with velcro. I am pretty satisfied with the product and results thus far.

I am including a couple of quick snapshots from inside and outside the house. These were all handheld single shot photos. Minimal PP and cropping.

Many DIY similar, but when one can buy one snap together, debugged [no pun intended] for only ₹ 4,000 a $50 bargain.
I even looked on TEMU and Aliexpress both had many defuses ... all very low cost, but none that looks as good as this one... what is a link for purchasing one? Only found this beetlediffuser@gmail.com
