Macro Photography Setup

I've made a macro photography setup for extreme macro if anyone would be curious. You can see it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQHCvAvSRvQ. Maybe someone could give advice on how to improve the setup? Unfortunately, one day I found what I'm almost certain was a macro reversal ring, but someone else threw it away! One big problem is where the setup wants to fall over sometimes because of the camera and adapter, so I'm wondering how to make a counterweight. Also, am wondering if it's remotely possible to do backlighting with this type of scope. I suppose that there are better ways, though I'm on a budget so I consider my project semi professional. I chose this setup because I like RAW photo ability which I didn't find on specialized microscope cameras and have even used DSLR/microscope setup before, as well as cell phone super macro which works surprisingly well! Thanks
