Tamron SP Di AF 180mm 1:3.5 is a big and sturdy lens.

For 5x macro, a macro rail for focus is recommended, DoF is in the range of tens of microns, so the focus precision is in the range of microns, so AF can be out of question.
This kind of combinations (telephotos + inverted lenses) is better to have balanced supports with two support points, one of which can be located under the inverted lens if required.

Joseph S Wisniewski offered very well informed solutions for advanced macro works at high magnifications. 👏
