"The most common problem we encountered was sensors being destroyed by the heat. We wanted everyone to buy a solar filter for your lens and also sent out mass emails and fliers," said Zach Sutton, the editor of LensRentals in a blogpost.

"Hopefully [this] will serve as a warning to those who are already prepping for the next eclipse in 2024."
