Worked great for a Canon DSLR
This kit was very easy to use and quickly got rid of dust on my sensor. There were a few annoying dust spots on my pictures, so I figured I’d give this cleaning kit a shot. This was my first time cleaning a sensor so I was a bit nervous at first, but it performed remarkably well and managed to clean all the dust off on the first try. As far as I can tell, even with the cleaning fluid it left no streaks, and the usual stopped-down dust check confirmed the sensor was spotless.The swab is pretty much perfectly-sized for a Canon full-frame DSLR, and it easily covers the active sensor area in a single pass. The kit comes with a bottle of cleaning fluid which feels like it would last hundreds of cleanings since you only need to use a couple drops each time. The swabs feel well-made with just enough “give” to reassure me I wasn’t going to put too much pressure on the sensor. They’re also individually vacuum-packed so you always start with a fresh swab.These swabs are also good for cleaning your mirror (though it should go without saying that this doesn’t help your image quality in any way). It’s usually not recommended to do this too much, but it feels better to use this swab than using your finger with a microfiber cloth and risking poking the delicate focusing screen.Overall, this did exactly what it said on the box, and ended up being really easy to use.

Works perfectly!
I used these for my Nikon D600 witch was notoriously known to have oil on the sensor since it was released! Mine had this problem since I bought it and I just had to stay away from shooting at too high of an aperture but any long exposure high aperture photos I’d be spending a huge amount of time getting rid of all the spots.Used this after owning this camera for YEARS (10+years) and it immediately and easily solved this! wish i would have gotten this back when i bought the camera!!!Super easy to use and only needed one swab. Now I have plenty for any other time I’ll need to clean my cameras sensors!

A tad short but effective cleaning
I noticed that these swabs are short by about 1-2mm and aren’t able to cover the entire height of my sensor (Sony A7iii). I don’t think it’s advised to double swipe since you can technically redistribute dust once the swab is dirtied up, but I did precisely that: two left-to-right swipes — one swipe up top and one on the bottom to cover the sensor area it missed. I could see this being problematic if, like a squeegee, it shovels off solution or dust along its edge. Didn’t happen on my first go but it still doesn’t feel great.I added a stretched photo of my before & after using just one swab’s front and back side. It cleaned all of the motes but introduced one in a corner; that’s fine. I used the Altura spray solution from their own sensor cleaning kit.

Awesome product
This is my very first time of using such a product. Got myself a used camera and just look at a result, brand new matrix! From the first wipe! To be sure used 3 of this, but 1 was enough. Highly recommend

Splotches be-gone!
Even tiny specs of dust/dirt on your sensor will leave dark splotches on your digital pictures. Follow the directions with this kit and your splotches will disappear!I bought a used mirrorless camera and had those splotches in my pics. The company actually traded the camera for me but the replacement also had the similar condition and they wanted to charge me $70 to clean the sensor that they reported was in perfect condition when they sold it to me. I was scared to touch anything to the sensor but decided it was worth the try.Well, the cleaning was perfect and I am no longer afraid to do the job myself. Having this kit and a rocket-blower is all you need to maintain the picture quality you deserve!Note: there is much more liquid than you’ll need with the pads, so when you use all the pads, you only need to buy a new set of pads-only and can keep using the liquid cleaner provided with this set.

Easier than expected. Did great removing fingerprint grease from sensor.
I was on the fence about sending my camera in for a $60 and 3 day turn around sensor clean and nearly returned this item. I figured I’d give it a go and send it in if I made things worse. I had fumbled my camera while camping and put my finger on the sensor which was insane. It’s been caked on there for 58 days. With this kit, I used one swab and four drops of the reagent. The first two alternating passes I could see the finger grease smudging away, so I did six more until it was clean.Image with the blurry bird shows the smudge center frame, 400mm f/4. The shot with the telephone pole shows the clean frame at 50mm f/22. Very happy.Nikon Zf owners, based on my online research, keep your camera on with IBIS activated since there isn’t a sensor lock. It’ll prevent it from jiggling around. If you have a sleep function, make sure to half press the shutter button every so often.

Siempre he podido limpiar sin problema mi sensor. Incluso en condiciones rudas, he logrado limpiar sin dejar manchas. He utilizado las brochas más de una vez, sin problemas.

Jag använder Eyelead systemet tillsammans med en bra Airblower. Har funkat jättebra, Använder det ca 1ggn/månad, men sedan ca 6mån har jag haft en fläck som verkligen har suttit fast. Trodde nästan att sensorn hade blivit skadad, men på första försöket så försvann fläcken och sensorn är nu 100% ren.Så, snabb och jätteenkel att använda med skinande resultat ger toppbetyg. Med Eyelead för vanlig rengöring och denna för de tuffa fläckarna, så har jag en billig och bra lösning.

Ero molto titubante e la situazione del sensore era veramente critica,ho usato più swap per essere sicuro di fare un ottimo lavoro anche perchè in più di dieci anni di vita e uso in tutte le condizioni, non avevo mai fatto nulla. Risultato: il sensore è tornato nuovo e il mio stress non era giustificato. Usatelo tranquillamente.

J’utilisais auparavant un kit d’une autre marque et la dernière fois, j’ai franchement fait un mauvais travail avec. Là, le kit est simple mais efficace. 2 gouttes suffisent et le passage de la petite pièce sur le capteur est facile et le résultat est parfait. Vraiment très simple. Je recommande.
