Here is my video of sun just using

Filter= using shade 13 visor shield in front of a old Mini dv cam JVC-GRDVL150E

Cliff's first sun video

What you think of it ?

Very nice! I have no idea what a 13 visor shield is, but you certainly caught the sun perhaps less cloud and reduce the exposure time a little would improve things.

Be very careful about viewing the Sun with a welder's mask. If you really must you a welder's mask, the minimum grade considered 'safe' for visual observations is a #14 but you would be far safer using a proper solar viewing filter guaranteed to do the job properly.

You only have one pair of eyes so please take every precaution with them, there are no second chances!

Was viewing from indoors for few mins with visor i had cardboard around it so no sun go on me eyes

all i looked at was me computer screen away from sun have me mini dv attached to special easycap dongle RCA Cable

was just testing

I know it work lot better if get proper filter stuff sometime which probably will do.

for now the cam only use is for night vision.

The warnings about eye damage are very valid but they only apply to a magnified image of the sun when viewed directly with your eyes. Shooting the sun through welding glass using the zoom function of a video camera will only at worst destroy the camera.
