Nah just tweezers, a magnifying glass, and a shitload of flux

That surface mount component is huge, those ones are pretty easy to do by hand

Personally I'd avoid the old style soldering irons that have the ceramic nub, and where the tip is a cup over it; the new style soldering irons like TS80(p)/TS100/TS101/ a JBC station / KSGER T12 station / Pinecil (ts100 clone for $25-30) don't give me a stroke trying to control the temperature and some are more portable / use usb pd

ETA: It can be pretty easy if you just go step by step, even with shaky hands. Flux keeps things from oxidizing, and improves the solder's surface tension so that the solder will get pulled towards the pads really easily. If you slather the pad in flux then tin the soldering iron and poke the pad, the pad gets tinned really easily. Then you can move into the part with your other hand via tweezers and just tack it in place using the soldering iron to reheat the solder on the pad. Then, once it's cooked the tweezers aren't needed; solder the other pad by touching the iron to it, and add some more solder if necessary. Finally, reheat the first side to let it settle/remove stresses. Heating a pad only takes ~2-4 seconds with the iron on it.
