Light your macros like studio lighting

This is the ultimate type of rig if you like to shoot macro and you're a control freak about lighting. I had an R1C1 for my Nikon kit, but when I finalized my switch to Fuji I started looking for an R1C1 equivalent for Fuji. This is it, right here. The quality of the gear is every bit as good as the Nikon R1C1 (I hadn't sold mine yet when I got the MF12 kit so I could compare). Advice - you should have 3 or 4 lights, so you can light macro subjects the way you'd light in a studio. The images here are with a 3 flash setup. Camera held in landscape mode... key light is left of lens, fill light is right of lens (1.5 stops below the key), "hair" or background separation lighting on top (2 or 2.5 stops below the key.) That's how I start shooting when I'm out for macros, then I tweak and mod and move lights around, but always returning to the baseline which is an exposure scheme that works well in general. See a few images here, all with a 3 light MF12 kit and the light position and exposure settings noted here. I also will often tip the top light up and aim straight to limit the "hair" lights while the key and fill are aimed in on the subject. Everybody photographs flowers, but I've sold a number of flower image prints to professional photographers because they're so different than their own. Go check out a book on studio lighting and studio light formulas if you're unfamiliar with that stuff and start your MF12 thinking from there.
Great setup for macro!

I actually purchased two of these kits from B&H. That way I can put 4 lights on the ring for macro work. I had read some reviews where the reviewers said to only use manual flash as these produced too bright or too dim exposures. I tried it in TTL mode on my Z8 and it works great! Exposures were right on! In the past I have used the Godox ring flash light and the led ring light. This setup blows those away with more detail and coverage. Waiting for winter to be over to shoot wildflowers and bugs!

Apparently not with Olympus/OMDS either, at least with an X2T trigger.

I have an OM System 5 and an X1T-O trigger. Will it work both mounted on the camera and externally? Thank you!
In manual, the MF12s can be triggered optically, as I've done with my F-LM3 (the little Oly. kit flash that rotates & tilts) but I much prefer my X2T trigger. They do not need to be mounted on the ring as "Staff" implied on 3/9/2023

The Godox MF12 Macro Flash 2-Light Kit does include the 62mm mounting ring to attach the heads to the FUJIFILM XF 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro Lens. You will need to add the Godox XProF TTL Wireless Flash Trigger for Fujifilm Cameras. Here is the link: https://bhpho.to/3ziDgki

A transmitter such as this one for Canon would be needed: https://bhpho.to/3s5aqRL but you should choose a Nikon transmitter if you are shooting with a Nikon camera or a different version depending on the brand or your camera.
