Don't give up on the great outdoors. I use a mini tripod leg attached to a ground spike, and a clamp at the top to steady plants. I've attached a Ladybird Nymph photographed outdoors on a clamped leaf. I was using a macro lens with tubes. And make sure you go out early or late, or on a cool day, when insects are dopey.
Leif,

Well I am not surprised about the first part as you have the 85 as that is a SERIOUS bit of kit. I will be interested to know how you get on with it. Certainly takes a bit of practice.

As for the pic ......... then to use an expression from Mohamad " you are killing me softly ".
