Nikon macro setup

I saw this on YouTube
https://youtu.be/PW-44IKD8l0
Might be fun and pretty cheap. I have a camera, a 50mm Nikon lenses and a flash. So I got most of what I need.
At 2:54 in the video he describes a Meike device to maintain auto shutter functionality.
However, there does not seem to be a similar device for Nikon.
Is this correct or all their alternatives
Thanks

something even easier , use a old 50mm lens on reverse , get a reversing ring on ebay for $ 5 . it will be the size of a filter that that lens would use .in my case 49 mm .i use a older pentax 50mm f1.7 . the result is good .

Two flashes would help, to provide even illumination and no shadows. I do that, though I dream of a macro flash unit.

Or you can invest in a Tokina 100mm for about $350.00. Not a lot of cash for a fine lens.

Will look
Years ago someone gave me a film dental camera setup with flash and lens at end of a bellows. Exposure was controlled by the flash it seemed and so taking a photo outside was easy and flash froze critters' movements. Tripod not really needed. Very mobile. As bellows extended, flash went with it
It looks to me like the youtube setup in the link does similar except flash does auto move (but moot as lens is fixed also)

I have the Meike/Neewer electronic reversing ring for Canon. It is puzzling that one is not made for Nikon.
