I’ve hand held sequences of shots to produce stacked images typically 6-8 shots at f5.6 x4 mag but only when the subject has been on a flat surface and I can rest the front hand on same. Probably always going to be flash although if it’s very sunny you can try natural light with a higher ISO.

There was a guy Eddie the Bugman doing insanely detailed large stacks in the field, hand held of springtails no larger than 2mm and with TC and extension tubes added to the MPE65.
If you have the determination anything is possible.

And was that just as easy/difficult as stacking had you used the 100mm macro with Raynox dcr?
