In short: a great thing! The swabs fit the sensor of my 6D MK II perfectly and do exactly what they are supposed to do. I also think it's great that they come in a very sturdy zip-lock bag. This means that you can use them without any problems even after a long time, as they are just as free of dust and lint as they were on the first day.

Fast delivery, good value for money. As always at the company. You can really easily do it yourself.

This was the first time I had attempted to clean a DSLR sensor myself so I was a little apprehensive but the various customer reviews on a variety of kits etc. This product comes with instructions and after you read and collect them We were amazed at how easy it was to achieve the courage for the task in front of us, in no time actually carefully clean the sensor itself with the pad. I then took test shots with the camera and all dust etc. was successfully removed. I used two swabs for the task on this occasion so have plenty of liquid and swabs left for future cleansing.

If I were to make these I would probably ship them in a zip bag or shrink wrap them individually in thin PE or cellulose, I would also make the flex a tad stiffer and the swabs themselves half a millimeter wider. Anyway, will never buy Visible Dust again. This one: bring it on!

You have to press something to clean the sensor. No feared scratches, everything easy. Would I buy again, am very satisfied.

Having never cleaned the sensor myself, I was a little nervous if this would work. There were warnings that the swabs could leave streaks on the sensor or damage the sensor mount. None of that happened. After I had carried out the sensor cleaning, the camera remained switched on, the sensor was locked and 3 drops of the cleaning liquid on the swab and we could start. The swab is exactly the size of the sensor and carefully weight the swab from the far left to the right and then vice versa and the cleaning was complete. Then I took a picture of the blue sky at f/22 and looked at the result in LR. The sensor was clean except for 3 spots from the previously covered sensor with spots. I repeated this cleaning two more times to remove the stubborn stains and the "blue sky image" was free of smudges and the sensor had no streaks, which I saw with the magnifying glass. The recordings afterwards were flawless, the sensor was not damaged and I was enriched by the experience that sensor cleaning works well if you proceed carefully. In a word: The swabs with the cleaning liquid have convinced me.

That worked a treat, my sensor has been dirty for a while. To minimize atmospheric dust (which you can clearly see in sunbeams through the window) I did this in the bathroom to minimize room dust as much as possible and use a fine water atomizer. I used a strong white light to check for excessive dust in the air. I used this article to show the sensor. It's perfect.

used to always bring my DSLR to be cleaned, but it cost €30 each time. Thanks, never again! Then I came across these swabs and I just cleaned the sensor on my Nikon D800 - worked perfectly. It is important when cleaning the sensor that you work quickly and precisely, and this is how I proceed: I bought a bottle of pure ethanol at the pharmacy. I put so much of this on a swab that it's slightly soaked. Then I pull the swab with gentle pressure slightly inclined over the sensor and immediately with also gentle pressure and slight inclination in the opposite direction - done. The whole thing should take place within a few seconds because ethanol is volatile and binds humidity, which creates streaks on the sensor. I've read the critical reviews, my opinion on this: Of course there can be production defects, but I assume it's not used correctly. I think individual packaging is unnecessary, if you are careful and cut the pack instead of tearing it open, you won't get any dust on the other swabs. My conclusion: Impeccable product - assuming a quick and precise cleaning procedure.

As good as the high-end Sensor Swab brand. To have used both the quality is the same for less money.
