I've just finished putting together a macro set-up. I've only taken a few photos with it, but was wondering if and how others are doing in this area.

The camera I'm using is a Sony a6000 24.2 Mp, Mirrorless (this is my old mainline camera, which I replaced a while ago with an Sony a6500), The lens is a 60mm 1:2.8 Artisans Macro lens. I use a Neewer LED ring-light and a 150mm iShoot focusing rail mounted on a Pergear ball-head on top of a Zomei tripod. I use a wired Pixel shutter release (it can also be triggered wirelessly with a separate receiver unit).

As for for storing my gear, I'm using an Apache hard-case (with my mainline camera, I use a soft-sided field bag).

Here's a few shots of my set-up.

And here are a couple of the images that I've taken with this set-up:

You might want to post this in the macro section of UHH to get more replies. Sippyjug104 (Gary) is a fantastic macro photographer.

I recommend swapping the ball head for a geared head for controllable pointing.

I do have another tripod, with a traditional pan and tilt controlled head, just that it's much heavier.
