4 Solar Photography iPhone Filters for Capturing an Eclipse

Check out these uniquely awesome ✔️ iPhone gadgets & gizmos

Total eclipses don’t happen regularly, so if you are ever in the path of totality, you should consider capturing everything on video. You can’t do so without a solar safe filter. You don’t damage your eyes without proper protection. As NASA explains:

The best thing to do is to cover the camera lens with a solar filter during the moments before (and after) totality when the sunlight is still blinding. This will eliminate sun blooming and give you a clear image of the solar disk. You can use one of those ISO-Certified sun-viewing glasses that will be available for eclipse viewing to cover the smartphone lens. DO NOT USE SUNGLASSES! 

Thanks to these 4 solar filters for iPhone & other cameras, you will be able to capture the sun on your smartphone like a pro:
