I have two very popular cameras both the ZWO 120MC and the ZWO 1600 Cool. I use them in combination with the Lunt 40 and B500 filter. The 120 just clips the top edge of the Sun whereas the 1600 has lots of room around the Sun for full disc shots. I’m leaving this as reference for others. If you use an 11mm extension tube on the top of the diagonal the 1600 has plenty of focus room in and out. The 120 requires none. As mentioned in the video a larger blocking filter gives you more room. I expect a B600 with the 40mm scope would give you a full disc with the 120MC. Definitely a B1200 will.
Tip: Don't rely on the camera microphone, it makes you sound as if you are in an echo chamber and difficult to understand. You should also mention the common problem with the blue blocking filter, which long time users might not be aware of.
If you have camera choices on your website as stated, why wouldn't you post a link to it? I just had a look and couldn't see it so why say something and then make it hard to find?
The problem I am experiencing with my Lunt LS60THa while attempting photos with my full-frame mirrorless camera t-adapter connected directly to the B600 is that I cannot get enough in-focus. :( I ran out of time, but on the next sunny day, I will attempt eyepiece projection and a barlow. But why am I having trouble with not enough in-focus? I don't ever recall a time where I have experienced that in the past... back focus, yes but not in-focus. Yes, I pushed in everything that I could to minimize the length of the tube. I am using the original focuser.

LUNT!
CCD or CMOS? Can we know exactly in place of what I suspect is generalising.

Perfect thank you

Which camera is shown in the video?
Thanks for asking. It is a monochrome CCD camera. Check out ZWO it's a popular brand.
@@LuntSolarSystems I thought it was a ZWO. Would you mine telling me which one?
@@LuntSolarSystemsZWO does not make CCD cameras, they use CMOS sensors.
