Old but gold tools that I used
Apexel Macro Lens (my first ever lens)

Cheapest macro lens I used is Apexel and it was what I was using when I grew my

account from 0 to 10k in 4 months :)                                                                                         

Tools I'm currently using
Background cardboards
Reflector board
Godox light with stand and softbox
Ulanzi lens (my first from them)

Magnetic Head tripod
Portable SSD
Others (Amazon Storefront UK)

The first Ulanzi lens I got was paid by myself and I loved it. I wouldn’t have upgraded if Ulanzi

themselves hadn’t gift me the second lens. HOWEVER, the second lens definitely is better in specs :)
