What is the best settings you think post down below. I saw  my fair share in my Life already of the eclipse, looking through a cardboard box and Pin hole

I don't have a GoPro but I'm surprised that GoPro actually puts out helpful tips about this that and the other, including shooting a solar eclipse with a GoPro:

Why DJI doesn't do articles like this? When I look under "Tutorials & Tips" it's mostly (if not ONLY) users who write them. Seems like DJI only puts out marketing videos and tips on how to buy their equipment. (...unless I'm missing something)
(...I'm guessing they will submit this "idea" to their relevant team for evaluation :-)


Maybe the above GoPro article can be interpreted for the Osmo to more/less extent.

Do you need a sun filter of some sort to protect the sensor or is that just for cameras?

That's only needed if a telephoto lens is used since it will magnify the sun hitting sensor

Fish I would try taking a photo in daylight and then put a bit higher shutter for the timelapse.

If you go by Sunny16 rule for photography, using f/2.8 lens (that OA4 have) you need 1/3200 shutterspeed and ISO 100.

Hi Fish. Have two cameras if you can. One to see the eclipse and the other to video the land. In effect, the sun will just be a white light turning lowly to black so dynamic range of something like that far exceeds what the camera is designed to do. The land changes in a more subtle way and the camera should capture most of it until it's really dark.
We had a total eclipse here in the UK quite a few years back and the weirdest thing about it is how the light around you goes a really odd colour. Kind of silvery. (It also turns really cold for a moment.

Filming the sun on an action cam will make it look quite small and you’ll most likely get a silhouette but it’ll look amazing.

Don’t miss it yourself for a video though! It’s a fantastic experience.
