Very interesting and ... impressive..

But we are not in the same planet : my macro practice is while trekking or at least walking in nature anf all my gear has to fit in my backpack, without a sherpa aid ...

So I can get beautiful macros only with the Godox, the macro lens or ext tubes or Raynox bonnette on the 70-300mm and that's all ! The Godox is sufficient to avoid any vignette and big enough to avoid shadow (tested with the 18-300mm Tamron at 300mm)

Add an extra battery and you can produce a few 1000s shots...

Well, the Ryobi are quite portable, too, subjectively Those are battery-powered lights.

I usually carry at least a pack of Ryobi battery to whole-day events to charge the camera batteries. Although, I'd not carry them in my backpack while trekking.

I think it's depending on the subjects. If I shoot a static subject and if I can use a tripod, I can set focus-bracketing with enough delays in between for the flash to cycle. However, with moving subjects like ants and bugs, ... the rapid focus-bracketing is crucial, thus, the need for continuous lighting, the flash can't cycle fast enough.

Ryobi battery pack can be the power source for many things
