Yongnuo's manual flash power and zoom controller YN560-TX is compatible with RF-602, RF-603 and RF-603 II triggers / receivers and with Yongnuo's YN560 III manual flashes.Together with RF-602/3 triggers it is a wireless trigger with 6 groups and 16 channels. 6 groups A, B, C, D, E, F, G are more than other triggers on the market offer and should fulfill all needs.With YN560 III flashes it offers its amazing flash power and zoom setting. This means, one can set YN-560 III flash output and zoom by group directly by the controllers big LCD. No more walking around to each flash, which is often not possible if the flash is on a high light stand or in a softbox.YN560-TX, manual flash controller, made specially for Yongnuo YN-560III made after January of 2013 year, but if you want to use it with our other Yongnuo flash speedlite, you just need the transceiver of Yongnuo RF-602, RF-603, RF603 II, because YN560-TX has built-in wireless trigger system.You can use it not only as flash controller function, but aslo use it as remote control function.
Well, for a camera body I recommend something like the Canon 5d or 7d or the new full frame micro 4/3 with an adapter to ef mount lenses. Basically any body that is compatible with the lenses with red dots (EF). Full frame vs cropped doesn't matter IMO unless you wanna start using really wide lenses like a 10mm.
Then for the lens either grab the Canon 100mm macro, the Tamron 90mm IS macro, or the Canon MPE-65.
Lights are easy, just grab a pair of yongnuo flashes that step down their power. I have these guys and love them. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00LSGDHNC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_qAhTCbCTMEZHY
Really you can pick and choose what you want to buy but I at least recommend the macro you buy is 1:1 and has built in imagine stabilization. Mine doesn't and it's the devil trying to use it for video lol. You can use macro lens as normal lenses too they just have the option to go in really close.
I would check out Keh.com for some great stuff.
Here's 60D for $550. You can snag a 17-85f/4-5.6 for another $200. They only have new copies of the 50mm f/1.8 for $125 (but can be found for less than $100 used). For another $200 you can get a pair of serious Yongnuo flashes and a trigger. Take that other $500 and grab the accessories you need and shabang you have a very nice kit to work with.
I use manual flashes like the YN mentioned above, as well as the remote trigger/commander for it. The GX7 knows when the transmitter is on or off, and adjusts the live preview accordingly. The camera and transmitter also know when each other is asleep and or awake, so that's cool.

I've had good luck with amazon warehouse deals on some gear. Always just been packaging that's been banged up a bit. $124 - if this was for Nikon, I'd pick it up. THIS IS FOR CANON - you didn't mention what you shoot..
