Especially if this will be your first total eclipse, my advice is to go light on cameras and optics and focus on just experiencing the event. There’s a lot more to see and feel during totality than just the occlusion of the sun.

I’m planning on bringing a tripod (it gets dark!) and wide angle lens to capture the overall environment. But I’m leaving the “portable solar observatory” stuff to the astronomers.
