These glass worked perfectly. Much better than the cheap old thin plastic/paper ones. I plan on saving these for 2024! The paper filter did work for a couple of photos with my nikon camera on a tripod. Nothing fancy, but it is fun to have at least one good picture that I took myself.

This eclipse-watching kit included special sunglasses that protected my eyes during the eclipse and a filter that protected my digital camera while I photographed the eclipse. Both products worked perfectly. I saw the eclipse but did not damage my eyes, and I photographed the eclipse without damaging my camera.

The Celestron - EclipsSmart 3-Piece Solar Eclipse Observing and Imaging Kit worked exactly as it should have! I would buy it again if needed. The glasses are well made and fit comfortably.

I ordered 2 Celestron EclipSmart 3-Piece Solar Eclipse Observing and Imaging Kita a week before the full solar eclipse on 4/8/24. Both my wife and I thought the glasses were solid, fit well, and allowed us to watch the event confidently and safely. The filter for covering my phone camera protected my camera and allowed me to take a number of photos as the moon slid in front of the sun and then moved on its way. We'll hold on to these items to use again when partial eclipses occur. We won't be here to view the wonder of the next full eclipse in our area.

Bought for the October ‘24 solar eclipse, and these glasses were incredible! So simple but such a great view of the eclipse without hurting our eyes. The handheld filter came in handy for getting pictures on our phone and DSLR camera too. We’ll use these for every eclipse!

Unfortunately, it was too cloudy to view the eclipse in our area, but did get a chance to test these products out prior to the eclipse. Both products worked well at viewing the sun safely. I loved the durability of the glass frames. They are so much better than the cardboard ones. Also, the book was a nice addition.

Solar filter kit worked out

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The glasses certainly were better quality than the cheap ones from the store. The filter for the camera I ended up carefully cutting to a size that fit between my camera lens and UV filter which allowed both hands to be used in adjusting camera and tripod. Booklet was helpful for knowing when peak eclipse would occur.

The quality of this collection is excellent. The sunglasses are comfortable to wear and (if taken care of) should last a very long time. The solar filter for cameras didn't work the best with my phone, but I blame my phone for thinking it was night time, affecting the exposure. I'm sure for a regular camera with manual adjustments it would work well.
The booklet is a nice bonus talking about both the 2023 annular eclipse in addition to the 2024 total eclipse.

The sunglasses in kit were durable and comfortable. The lens filter for camera worked though a bit awkward to hold against my cell phone lenses and snap photos. The eclipse guide was awesome--lots of interesting information!! Overall very good product for the price.

Saw this as I was in Best Buy buying a computer. The next solar eclipse is in April 2024 and covers a large swath of Indiana which is right next door. This kit includes sunglasses so you can look at the sun while the eclipse is happening. Having seen the last solar eclipse this is something you would want to have to experience all parts of the solar eclipse.
