Photographic SolutionsSensor Swab Ultra 20mm Type-1 Digital Imaging Sensor Cleaner Swabs for Cleaning APS-H Mirrored or Mirrorless Cameras. Sensor Dust & Oil Remover (Pack of 12)

If your camera sensor cleaning system can't shake the dust off, or the dust can't be removed using a Rocket Blower, as was my case, these work well...as advertised. Sure they cost between $3 and $4 apiece and look as though they cost more than the sum of the parts, but remember, these swabs were put together in a clean room and are constructed from materials that are safe for cleaning camera sensors.My experience with them, and the cleaning fluid that I purchased, was excellent. It sure beats sending your camera off to the manufacture for two weeks or more to have your sensor cleaned.Just FYI, cleaning my sensor took all of 15 minutes from start to finish and took care of an abundance of dust bunnies and other grime stuck to my sensor UV filter...the glass filter that covers the sensor in most cameras. I did have to use 3 swabs, but my sensor was very dirty, and it was my first time. Even so, it cost less than $10 to clean the sensor, and I had the use of my camera immediately afterwards.Was it worth it to me? Yes. Will I continue to use the swabs and cleaning fluid? Yes.Hope this helps.

My image sensor (Nikon D700) got cleaned with two swabs. The most common complaint about these swabs is that they are too expensive. Well, as long as my sensor gets cleaned, they are well worth the money. Professional photography has never been known to be an inexpensive hobby. And to be fair, I imagine they probably don't cost a lot of money to manufacture in mass production, but the fact of the matter is there simply aren't that many users of the products, so they most likely have to make them in smaller batches, which cost more money and they have to make a profit beyond their business overhead to stay in the business. The resellers do not move so many of them in a month, so unless they can make enough profits on them, they probably would not want to keep them in stock. So if we don't pay enough to keep them in business, they may not be there when we need them next time, in which case we would be left with only two choices: Send the camera to the original manufacturer for cleaning or buy a new camera. Trust me, either one of these two options would make the swabs look soooo cheap!!!! And you have to do without a camera for a while if you send it back to the manufacturer. Buying a new camera won't make the problem go away either. I just purchased the new Nikon D800 less than a year ago and the spots have been appearing already after about 12,000 shots. According to some bloggers on the web, they say the manufacturers are oiling the camera bodies too much, that's why the spots are showing even in the new cameras. I don't know enough about camera construction to confirm their theory, but there seems to be no way of escaping it.

I've sent my camera bodies in to CPS (Canon Professional Services) for their "clean and check" service many times in the past. They do an OK job, but sometimes the cameras still come back with dust on the sensor. These seem overpriced for what they are, but so far I haven't found another option that beats it in terms of simplicity, effectiveness, efficiency (I can do it on the spot,) and doesn't require me to ship my camera somewhere.Follow the directions closely, and it's pretty simple. Don't fool yourself into thinking you can use the same one to clean a second camera, or make multiple passes on the same camera. More often than not, it just ends up smearing the junk it picked in previous passes.

Originally left one star. But was due to user error. As most things are i guess.First streaky pic is using 2-3 drops as directed by most content creators and youtubers. Not sure how in the world they get good results. Found a comment in deep photography forums explaning to load the swab up with drops on each side and do the 1 swipe each side. This is specific to the AEROCLIPSE SOLUTION. thar being said, once the swab was wet enough it worked amazingly. See picture two...At this stage would 100 percent reccomend.The only reason for 4 stars is the direction to "use several drops" is not descriptive enough. Nor does the QR code that leads to a video explanation work. The video is unavailable.Just wet the swab until its about 1/3rd wet each side (USING AEROCLIPSE SOLUTION ONLY) and do two passes and you should be good to go.

I noticed that my sensor had a lot of dust on it when I shot some images using f/22 - f/45 (long telephoto images). I spent a great amount of time on PhotoShop removing the dust images from my shots. It was actually quicker to clean the sensor than to edit the images.I was uncomfortable to clean the sensor but after doing some reading I learned that the sensor as a protective coating and if you read the instructions for these products it's OK to clean the CMOS chip. You must read the information and do everything suggested. If you put the swab down on a table it's "dirty" and cannot be used. You should not use any other cleaner than those recommended. You must clean the mirror box and outside of the camera before working with the sensor. If you have dust in the mirror box, it's just going to get into the camera...This swab is the right size for my Canon EOS 5D Mark II. It took a couple wipes to get all the dust off the sensor, but it left the CMOS chip perfectly clean, and solved my problem of dust on the sensor. It took a few tries to get everything. I just cleaned, made a couple exposures at f/45, checked them, re-cleaned, until it was done.There are some dumb examples of cleaning on the web - for example there's this one guy that is in a desert, opening his camera and cleaning it from the back of his truck... That did not impress me - I'd rather be in a closed environment with no dust floating around. Another guy used the swab to scour the sensor - he literally rubbed dozens of times - that did not seem like a good idea either...This swab must be used with some form of cleaner - I used Eclipse. This cleaner evaporates very fast and does a good job of cleaning.

Either someone tampered with this box or this isn't the right size for Fuji xt3. It's Thursday night and I was preparing my gear for tomorrows shoot and I checked the box it says 17mm type 2. I went to apply the liquid and clean my sensor but it doesn't cover the entire sensor so if you press right up to the top you'll have a streak across the bottom. If you push down across the bottom of the sensor you get a streak above the top. They let anyone and their uncles sell on this site. Now I need to hopefully be able to rent a camera for tomorrow and also have to find someone to send this one in to get fixed.

Does the job,not cheap,but a lot cheaper than taking it to a camera shop & paying £50 to have the sensor cleaned.

ce produit est idéal pour l'entretient courant de son capteur d'apn. C'est plutot cher, mais comparé au prix demandé en boutique pour un nettoyage de capteur ca vaut le coup

L'ho usato per pulire il mio sensore. Con un paio di questi e il liquido, con due di questi ho pulito il sensore perfettamente. Operazione da fare con attenzione, magari documentandosi su internet. Il tipo di sporco che ho eliminato in foto non si vedeva. Con i video RAW invece c'era un "pelo" visibilissimo oltre che qualche macchiolina che sono spariti dopo la pulizia. Prima di fare il passaggio ho anche usato una pompetta ad aria e una spazzolina per il sensore di quelle finissime che passate vicinissime quasi senza toccare il sensore attraggono la polvere.In internet ci sono molti modi e spiegazioni-

c'est hors de prix, mais quand j'essaye des produits moins chers, ils ne sont pas aussi efficaces.ça reste cher tout de même !
