Simple, effective and easy on the wallet

by Frank on Dec 30, 2008

★★★★★
5.0

"I've gotten tired of spending big bucks for 12 swabs so I'm happy to have found this cleaning kit. Everything works as advertised and I had no problems cleaning my sensor with it. The liquid was able to remove camera oil that was dragged onto the sensor when I did an earlier cleaning with a brush. Plus, the liquid evaporates very fast and doesn't leave any residue. The cloths are easy to wrap and stay in place ..."  Read Full Review

"I used this product as stated, but somehow my sensor became damaged and is now almost unusable.

I gave it 2 stars more for the idea of it and because others have used it successfully, but I am facing a hefty bill for repairing my 5D.

I think the main problem is that the idea of wrapping a piece of square cloth around a piece of plastic that the cloth doesn't fit, and trying to hold it in place with a piece of plastic that doesn't clip firmly into place, is fundamentally flawed."

    Pros:

  • Lightweight

    Cons:

  • Not functional,
  • Poor design

Absolutely awesome product!

★★★★★
5.0

"I had a spec of some sort of goo on my 7D's sensor. I didn't have a brush or anything to try getting it off. I tried blowing it off numerous times with no success. So I ordered the dust wand kit thinking it would be my best option to get it clean before my next shoot. Came in the mail, opened it up wiped my sensor about 5 times with the Ultra Clean liquid and it cleaned the nasty goo right off. Highly recommend this, easy to use and can be a huge help in a jam."

    Pros:

  • Easy to use,
  • Must have in your bag,
  • Reliable

    Cons:

  • None

Wish I would have bought it earlier!!!!!

★★★★★
5.0

"After being frustrated for several months with my 20D, (the felt from around my sensor has been flaking off onto my sensor) I bought the Dust Wand Kit before a trip to Mammoth Lakes. I had absolutely no problems. No constant wiping is needed, just a few swipes and it was done. I have since looked at the pictures which are great with not even the smallest spot.



Problem solved what a relief!!!!"

    Pros:

  • Durable,
  • Easy to use,
  • Improves product function,
  • Lightweight

    Cons:

  • Some accessories not incl

Worth Trying

★★★★★
5.0

"-Works great!

-Cheaper than 1 professional cleaning.

-Simple to use



Read the directions thoroughly several times. Make sure you're in a clean environment. Took me a second attempt for me to get it right (use a new swap each time.) Took only seconds to complete. For the money it is worth a try."

    Pros:

  • Easy to use,
  • Lightweight,
  • Reliable

Simple to use and works!

★★★★☆
4.0

"I developed a large dust spot on my Canon 5D. After reading about several products and viewing a sensor cleaning guide vido on lensrentals.com, I went with just this product. I figured I could get fancy later, if needed. Assembling the wand/cloth combo took some dexterity (get someone with small hands to help you). But after that, very straightforward to use and, best of all, cleaned the sensor!"

    Pros:

  • Good price / value

Best Cleaning Kit

★★★★★
5.0

"I have used other kits in the past and I have to say that this kit works well. I was able to get my Nikon D3 sensor clean after three attempts and without any issues. Cleaning a sensor for the first time is nerve racking, but thereafter it's not such a big deal. It beats paying a company 60 plus dollars to do the same. I recommend this kit for any any DSLR."

    Pros:

  • Easy to use,
  • Reliable

    Cons:

  • None

Cleaned sensor

★★★★☆

"Overall this product worked well in cleaning the sensor on my Nikon D3x. It took 2-3 passes to get the dust off, but it did remove bothersome dust from the sensor. The kit come with everything required and is fairly staightforward to use."

    Pros:

  • Easy to use

The Dust-Aid Dust-Wand Kit provides easy wet cleaning of all DSLR Sensors and is a cost effective means of cleaning hard-to-remove dust and dirt from your camera's image sensor filter. This kit includes three Dust-Wands for cleaning image sensors with 1.6 (14mm), 1.3 (16mm) and 1.0 (18mm) dimension factors, and 50 Dust-Cloth, non woven wipes packed in a zip lock bag to keep them dust free. Also included are three small clips that are used to hold the cleaning wipe in place on the wand. The included Ultra Clean cleaning fluid is non-flammable; non-alcohol based, and evaporates quickly to prevent fluid from seeping under the sensor filter frame. It is also incredibly pure with a non-volatile residue count of 1.0 ppm to greatly reduce the possibility of residue being left behind after use. To round out the kit you will also receive a travel friendly hard plastic case that all of the components of the Dust-Wand Kit fit into.
