I love this video idea! It's not all about the gear. I also shot the eclipse on a super low budget, and I bought a $90 Celestron telescope, mounted my phone to it, and used a manual camera app for shooting. It performed way better than I was expecting, and while the images I got aren't amazing, they're good enough for me, and I'm just glad I was able to capture it without having to spend a bunch of money.

It's definitely not! Specially for such a rare occasion. I already never touch my 70-200 let alone need even more telephoto than that! Glad we got we were to capture great results with such little gear!

You were fortunate in that the cloud cover was thin *and* not detailed. I ended up in Caistorville after abandoning St. Catharines and driving west, looking for a sufficiently clear spot in the clouds. I got some nice shots with a PanaLeica 100-400mm zoom on a G9 (handheld, due to last second tripod issues, but the lens/body IS combo saved the day), but I couldn't capture the finer corona details due to them being a bit swamped out by cloud noise. Interesting to see that if I only were concerned with the eclipse, I could have saved $$$ with this lens vs. the PL - but this is the one use case it's suited for, really.

The clouds were pretty thick at points. Got very lucky that it thinned out during the eclipse! Was fairly gray leading up to it! That tripod is a real bummer though glad you still manage to get some shots. The PL is a great wild life though I'd assume?!

I got the same lens from AliExpress for about 40 euro's... Great to figure out if such a focal length is something you want to invest in!

I love watching your channel grow. Just a few days ago you were at 2k and now you're almost to 3. Your content is infectious. As a filmmaker who looks for content specifically like this I am glad you've popped up. If you ever need a RED to shoot on let me know!

I got to take pictures of the 2017 eclipse out here on the West Coast and it was literally one of the most magical things ever! I love it when humans just kinda stop what we’re doing and all enjoy a one time celestial event like this! 🥹
