I taped a sheet of sturdy cardboard to the inside of the housing to reduce the size of the opening, and attached a binocular magnifying glass LED ring to it, also using adhesive tape. 3. This setup allows the camera to be positioned horizontally; it is stable and at the correct height (see depth of field).I can adjust the brightness of the LED lighting, and I can also use the camera’s self-timer. This white box is easy to carry and can be used anywhere. It could be improved and made using 3D printing, but I’m happy with it as it is.
