20 PACK DSLR or SLR Digital Camera Cleaning kit, Full Frame Sensor Cleaning Swab (not include cleaning liquid)

These cleaning swabs are essential for cleaning the sensor on mirrorless cameras where the sensor is often exposed. This particular set only includes the swabs, so you will need to buy some cleaning liquid too - I bought a complete set the first time, but used up the swabs before I got through all the liquid so bought this to keep it going, which is a good value way of doing it. They're really easy to use and I've never had any issues with sensor damage because they're soft and packaged individually.

The perfect tool to clean the sensor of a digital camera. Watch the instructions on Youtube and go for it. Is really easy.

They're good they definitely work, although they're not quite wide enough to cover the whole width of the sensor when swiping from side to side across the sensor.

Brought as a present Good little package Lots of different bits for starter photographer

20 swabs, each individually wrapped and sealed for full frame sensor cleaning. The swabs are no different to others costing twice this amount. The stick has just the amount of flexibility that I need to ensure firm contact without having to over press it. They arrived in a self-resealing plastic bag that makes them easy to contain. Articles say you should rarely need to wet clean a sensor but, maybe it is the higher UK humidity and despite carefully swapping lenses in the field, I often find large, sticky spots which a blower cannot shift. Thus wet cleaning is necessary more often then I would like. I use just 2 to 3 drops of Eclipse fluid https://amzn.to/2YUxDWw per swab. I usually need to do this once or twice to fully clean the sensor, each dual-pass needs a fresh swab. An illuminated, magnifying loupe further helps to visually see the spots when cleaning; I use the inexpensive Movo loupe https://amzn.to/2TqueNO which works well for me and speeds up the process. However I will still finish with a final shot (AV or manual, f/22, manual focus set to minimum, slow shutter and wiggle camera during the exposure) of white paper and inspect for spots on the computer. Cleaning a sensor might appear daunting at first but you quickly become confident and adept at it. The initial cost of swabs, loupe and Eclipse works out to the cost of one commercial cleaning but you only need to buy the loup once and the bottle of fluid seems to last forever. Far quicker and cheaper than taking the camera for a "professional" clean. Also much less need to find and clone/healing them in Photoshop or Lightroom after every shoot.

I selected this cleaning kit at random from the list as I had noticed some rather stubborn gunk on my lens that was likely acquired in the process of filming a rather inquisitive kitten who was sniffing and licking at the lens. In short after a quick burst of air from the blower, a once over with the brush and a few seconds with the pen my lens looks like new. Even when shining a bright torch through it the flares and smears are gone.

Good value and has what you need for day to day, I think

You send £2000 on a camera and the sensor is the most delicate part, so while these might seem expensive for what they are, they are a lot lot cheaper then sending the camera for a sensor clean. You need two each time, one to get the dirt off and then one to mop up with. If you dry use them then one should do. I always use a small blower brush first and check how clean the sensor is before finally using these. And if you are not sure if you need these, set the camera to f16, point it at a white surface and see just how many dots you can see.

Goede swaps, werkt goed, correcte maat voor full frame sensors

Not the highest quality of products, but that's expected based on the price for everything. Definitely make sure to google a bit about how you're supposed to be using these cleaning tools to clean your camera. If you're not sure how to use them, you might damage your lens or camera! Instructions are not included. The bag that's included is a bit too small. Not everything fits, but if you're travelling, it's big enough to fit the most important cleaning tools.

This product is trash. I was looking for a tool to clean my camera sensor. These wipers are not soaked in cleaner or any other sort of liquid, it was dry and not soft. The tip of the wipers is very hard, I did not end up using them as I was afraid they would scratch the surface of the sensor. Look for a different brand or a different product where the tips come wet and soft and don't waste your money on this product.

This is a super easy to use cleaning kit, cows with all the things you need to clean your camera sensor, all vacuumed sealed to preserve sterile conditions until ready for use , with a nice ouch to keep everything, great value for this product.

If you change lenses frequently, you will get grime inside the sensor region of your camera, and on a trip of a week or more, you are guaranteed to get some dust spots on your sensor. Bring the Giotto Rocket Blower, since that may take care of some of the spots. I have found about 50% of them don't go away with the blower. Carrying a small bottle of Eclipse sensor cleaner and these swabs can save your hours of time, not having to use the Q tool in Lightroom to get rid of the dust spots. It may take 2 or 3 swabs to get your sensor really clean, so bring half a dozen swabs. They are really one time use swabs: don't risk damaging your sensor by reusing a swab! In the past, I have used Pec Pads cut to the right size taped to a cleaning wand. These work quite well, but the premade swabs are a lot easier to use: just tear open the package, and you're ready to go. Not having to tape the Pec Pad to the cleaning wand is a huge time saver and is so much more portable when travelling. Hint 1: If you don't have a good lamp to work under in your travel location, try cleaning the sensor when you have bright sunlight to work with to shine into the mirror box/sensor area. Hint 2: When you put the wand with the Eclipse cleaning fluid into the sensor area, have it turned 90 degrees to the direction that you will be wiping in, parallel to the long side of the sensor. It's easy to accidentally tap the side of the mirror box with the wand if you are going in with the wand oriented to the short side of the sensor. You really don't want to wipe the sensor with the wand if it has touched anything else, since it can leave grease smudges on the sensor. Hint 3: You don't have to be ultra-gentle with the swab. Just smoothly go one way across the sensor, and then back again. To get an image that will show the dust spots, use a long telephoto, go manual exposure or aperture priority and stop down to f/22 or higher. Focus to infinity and point to a bland part of the sky and adjust your exposure with the shutter speed dial if you are using manual. Adding 1-2 stops of exposure makes the image brighter and easier to see the dust spots (+ exposure compensation). The resulting photo will allow you to pixel peep and find the dust spots easily.
