Solar filters for August Eclipse

[Mike Quigley]

I hope to shoot the Solar Eclipse in August using the 500II and 70-200, 2 cameras and tripod setups. Any recommendations on filters, I read that the drop in for the 500 is a no no because it's to far past the front elements. Any recommendations? What are you all going to use? Thanks in advance, Mike.
