Dust Aid Platinum DSLR Cleaner

"This works perfect for cleaning the photo sensor in a digital SLR camera. Its actually the glass filter over the sensor and behind the mirror that gets cleaned.



The kit is small enough to slip into a camera bag when traveling and doesn't leave you wondering what to take and what to leave behind.



This small kit comes with a limited number of sticky transfer tabs, so its not for people with photo sensor OCD. Its for occassional cleaning of the sensor."

"By far the safest, fastest and easiest cleaning method for dust on the sensor of all cleaning methods I've used. I now reserve wet cleaning for only stuck particles but always begin with Dust-Aid Platinum. Per use, its also the most economical method. Its simple to use, and unlike swabs, this will never contribute lint to the chamber that swabs can leave behind. Just get it, you won't be sorry. By the way, get the sensor loupe 7x model to EASILY see when your sensor is clean or dirty. Its one of the most useful items I own."

"Any time I increase my apeture to F10 or greater I would find small spots on my pictures, both in Macro and Wide angle shots. The dots were dust particals on the sensor filter. This product does an excellent job in keeping the filter clean. My Canon 20D does not have an automatic sensor cleaner."

"Product came with easy to understand instructions and worked as promised.I have a camera with a self cleaning sensor but there were some large specks it just wouldn't get rid of and in the past simply blowing the specks off resulted in them returning later so after a recommendation from a friend I took a chance on this product I would definitely recommend this to my friends"

"good to remove loose dust. As visible dust brushes can remove lot of dust very easily but still leave one dust particle behind, you will be easily remove exactly this last dust particle. To remove dust particles only with that tool seamed not the right way for me.

It is not easy to use this tool at the boarders of the senser (especially in the D3X).

Sticky dust can not be removed with this tool. There wet cleaning is the only working method for me."

"I used to have two stages of sensor cleaning: blowing with a Giotto Rocket and then wet cleaning. I now have three stages: Blower, Dust-Aid and Wet. I find that Dust-Aid takes care of a high percentage of the particles that a blower cant dislodge. It is quick and easy. The combination of blower and dust-aid has *greatly* reduced my need for wet cleaning. This makes the product well worth it for me."

"Removes dust quickly and with great ease of use. No risk of smearing dust around the sensor. Just lightly press the special pad against the sensor and off comes the dust. A simple and clever sensor cleaning method that anyone can perform without fear of damage."

"By not swiping anything across the sensor, it is nearly impossible to harm your sensor. Works perfectly for dust. Cleaning the static pad can be a bit tricky, but nothing taxing and overall very easy to use with no complicated steps. Compact size is convenient for travel."

"It's so easy...even a dog can do it!!!

Well...maybe not. But this is the simplest solution currently out there for an effective dry sensor clean. I wish I had this sooner.

The instructions are simple to follow, and thanks to the "Platinum" version, it is safe on Canon sensors.

Highly recommended!"

"I had two small dust spots on my sensor and tried this product. It got the bigger of the two, but left an oily residue over have of my sensor. The product was new, right out of the box, the end of the wand was never touched. I am now looking at the wet method."
