Tip #1 says you should have a solar filter, but I am guessing that's if you use a mirrorless, this isn't required, right?

That’s what I was wondering too

[@VaggelisDG]

Solar filter is required for mirrorless!! You can look through viewfinder with mirrorless (+solar filter) where as you shouldnt with SLR (non mirrorless).
