Bought two pairs to see the total eclipse while in Mazatlan Mexico. These were perfect. Comfortable to wear and offered total eye protection while we watched total of 3 hours as moon began and completed and ended path in front of the sun. Will use these again for our next eclipse chase. Sure beats those flimsy cardboard ones

These glasses and filter were amazing to use with the October 2023 Annular Eclipse. The price was great and it allowed me to experience the event here in the North Texas area. The quality of the glasses is amazing and the filter protected my DSLR camera. Can't wait to.use it again for the April 2024 Total Eclipse.

This is a fantastic kit for the price. The glasses work well, and the filter worked good for someone who wanted to try photographing the solar eclipse before committing to buying a more expensive solar filter. The only issue was trying to tape the filter over my camera lens, as you can bump it pretty easily when it is taped on since it barely covers the full lens. The booklet also has some good information on upcoming solar eclipses.

These eclipse glasses worked great. The eclipse viewing experience was awesome. I am so glad that I purchases these glasses instead of the flimsy paper ones. I did not have a good experience with the filter for the camera that was included. I tried to take pictures of the eclipse with my cell phone while holding the filter in front of the camera and was not able to get any pictures at all.

This is a very well executed solar protection solution. We were able to not view the eclipse perfectly, but in complete comfort. The additional filter for the camera provided us excellent video and imagery of the solar eclipse. Highly recommend purchasing the binoculars as well

Everything you need to view the eclipse. The glasses are better than the flimsy cardboard glasses. But the real part of this kit is the solar filter for a 58mm dslr camera. An actual solar lens could cost a couple hundred of dollars. Great if you only need to photograph the eclipse once.

I was trying to get the glasses only but they were sold out, so I had to pay extra to get this set. Turned out it's great, the filter let me take pictures with my phone. My friends are impressed with the result!

Saw the eclipse perfectly was outside of work and we took our break to go see it. Some of the other people had the paper glasses and they complain about feeling around their ears, but since they felt just regular sunglasses, they were fine.

In general, the plastic eclipse glasses and filter worked well. The lenses of the glasses were clear and it was easy to wear them over my regular glasses. It was nice not to need to hold them in place. The filter was very useful for taking pictures but was a bit awkward to use. It had to be held against the camera lens. That was easier to accomplish with one hand with the cell phone camera. My initial 2 pictures were good, but as the eclipse progressed, I could not get a good focus on the sun. Using the filter with a camera was difficult. It was hard to figure out where to aim the camera without looking at the sun unprotected. I had to have a second person hold the filter. It worked well near the end of the eclipse when we could Zoom the lens and still have the sun in the frame.

I bought this product mainly to have a spare filter for my camera, in case my main filter became damaged. The filter was effective; my cousin used it to take some very good pictures of the eclipse. The plastic solar filter glasses were easy to wear and were also effective for viewing the uneclipsed sun

They worked as advertised. I didn't try the filter for the phone camera, but it looks like the same type of filter that is on the glasses. They did fit over my prescription glasses without issue.

The glasses were first rate quality. Much nicer than the cardboard ones sold elsewhere. The phone filter was also a good quality and worked very well. The book was a really nice addition.

Glad I got this. Made it easier to view the Solar Eclipse. Glasses were easy to wear and stayed on securely even when moving around. I did think this item was a bit pricey relatively speaking, but it was definitely good quality.

They worked great for viewing, and the filter worked on the phone to capture the progression of the eclipse.
