Do you mean something like this?

It is not really an "eyepiece" solar filter though, as you place it in front of your scope. Are there also really small ones you use like other filters? I wouldn't trust them either.
I was thinking of buying one one day, but not before I have everything I need for night viewing.
The only problem is that all the other accessories can also be used with a bigger scope (and I will buy one one day), but this obviously cannot.
