UES APSC 16 APS-C Sensor Cleaning Kit for Reflex and Mirrorless Digital Camera CCD and CMOS Sensors (14pcs 16mm Swabs + 15ml Sensor Cleaner)

I bought a a6400 off ebay and although it was brand new, it had a smudge and some dust on the sensor, as though someone had touched it with a finger. I was terrified it wouldnt come off, as it was quite prominent and looked greasy. However, these cleaned it PERFECTLY. Nothing was left on the sensor - no micro scratches, no dust, no grease. The pricing could be a bit better but it's worth it to clean your sensor at least once. I'd recommend watching some videos online on how to correctly clean a sensor with a cleaning kit like this - they're short and demonstrate how to do it correctly. On a side note, the box says to use one or two drops per brush - I found that to clean off the greasy mark I had to use 3-4 drops. But there's still plenty of liquid left - even though I spilled quite a bit (don't know how, probably just accidentally squeezed too hard). It dries very fast, within a matter of seconds. Each brush comes individually sealed to make sure there's no dirt on it. Great product.

The kit worked just fine. The swabs are slightly narrower than the EOS20D sensor it was used on but very easy to use. I was very cautious about touching the sensor but if you follow the instructions and use a light touch it works well. Hold the cleaning fluid bottle slightly above the swab so that you can check you only get two drops of liquid onto the swab. This followed an internal debate about was it dirt or was the sensor faulty. Luckily just dirt.

Very good piece of kit. I own a Fuji XT1 which had picked up a lot of debris and marks on the sensor, far more than I imagined. At one point I feared the sensor may have been permanently marked. I mainly use my camera for astrophotograpy, so any marks and very obvious and evident. The kit comes with vacuum packed cleaning swabs and a small bottle of cleaning solution. I used one side of the swab with 3 drops of solution, two swipes across the sensor with the wet side and two with the dry side and every blemish was visibly gone, the solution evaporates very quickly and leaves no smearing. I'm only marking down one star as the swab did not completely cover the sensor height wise, and fell short by as much as 4mm, obviously not all CMOS sensors are equal? It turns out Fuji use the CMOS-C sensor which is the largest. Otherwise a perfect product and worth every penny!!

Probably, like me, you are looking at this product, and thinking “should I? is the risk worth it?” I have an five year old, very used, approx 170K photos taken, fujifilm mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses, that had so much dust and dots on the sensor, they occasionally looked like dark stars in a blue sky. I’d spend several minutes just trying to heal them in lightroom, and as soon as i did anything with the sky, or bright colours, more dots and dust would show up. Trying to fix this, and the time taken, is frustrating to say the least I’ve only used this product once, but all those dots and dust appear to have now gone, and the camera has gone out on a cold day and took another 200+ pictures, with no obvious ill effect. The skies are clear, and upon review in lightroom, there appear to be no obvious issues that need to be healed Would I use this product on a relatively new camera? Possibly no. I don’t know enough about camera cleaning for me to know if i’m doing long term good or harm here. But to refresh an old camera, bring the sensor back to clarity and clearness, rather than spending thousands on a new camera, then I am definitely happy with this product so far. Note - do some research into how to do home sensor cleaning properly before you try this. I have seen guides that recommend turning off inbody image stabilisation, so as to protect that mechanism when cleaning the sensor. There may be other recommendations out there too

Very quick delivery and actually arrived well packaged a day before its estimated delivery date. This was to be the first time I had attempted to clean a DSLR sensor myself so I was a little apprehensive however having read the various customer reviews on a variety of kits etc for the task on Amazon I settled on this product as it had good reviews and was what I thought to be good value for money. This product comes with instructions and having read them and gathered the courage for the task ahead was amazed at how simple it was to accomplish taking next to no time to actually carefully clean the sensor itself with the pad. I then took test shots with the camera and all dust etc had been successfully removed. I used two swabs for the task on this occassion so have ample fluid and swabs left for future cleans. Brilliant product and result thank you UES ! I would be more than happy to use this company and product again or recommend them to others. NB/ Whilst reading the reviews prior to purchasing this product I noticed some people had said it was difficult to apply the recommended two drops of cleaning fluid to the cleaning swab as there was no small hole in the fluid bottle to allow this to be done. This is definitely incorrect as once you unscrew and remove the lid of the cleaning fluid bottle there is another seal in place which once carefully removed reveals a final bottle seal that does indeed have a small hole to dispense the fluid in drops through it onto the swab.

A little scared of using these as never cleaned a camera sensor before. Having read the reviews which were mainly positive and checked out how to do it on youtube, I took the plunge. The swabs are well packaged individually and the solution has an easy to use dropper. Following the package instructions (and my new found youtube knowledge) I attempted to clean the sensor. After using the first swab and checking the sensor with a torch and magnifying glass I could still see some dust remained. I needed to use three swabs in total and I can not rate this product highly enough, my sensor is now spotless. No more spot healing the dust spots on my photos...a process that never worked well enough! This is the only sensor cleaning product I have used and there are several available on Amazon but, this worked very well for me and was a simpler process than I expected also much cheaper than professional sensor cleaning. I have swabs and solution left so will be able to do it again as soon as required

Worked like a treat! My cameras sensor had some stubborn dust particles on it blowing would not remove and this got rid of it. Very straightforward to use and the swabs match the size of the sensor (so if you have a full frame camera you need to buy the equivalent product for your sensor). I read other reviews that said applying the two drops of solution required to the swab was hard as the solution bottle had a wide opening. No idea what went wrong there because the one I received had a dropper on the end similar to what you would see with eye drops. So applying the correct amount of solution was very easy. See photo. Note the dust on my cameras sensor only showed up when photographing aircraft against a bright sky. I was using a 300mm lens at F16 & F22 as I was setting a slow shutter speed to get the propellers to blur and it was then the dust emerged from hiding. Setting such small apertures on wide angle lenses does not show it up the same. I believe this has something to do with the angle the light hits the sensor. With telephotos it's arriving at the almost the vertical if you see what I mean whereas not so with wider angles. So it's not necessarily a very large depth of field that will show up the dust. So if you want to see how much dust is on your sensor my tip is fit a long lens, set a small aperture and take a photo of a bright sky. (Then order of these kits to clean your sensor!).

I had a smudge on my sensor and I stupidly tried to remove it with a microfiber cloth and blowing on it. Not only did I make the smudge worse but i also transferred (no exaggeration) about 100 specs of dust, no matter what I did I couldn't remove them. I used the lightroom - visualize spots on a plain white image and it looked like it was snowing. Ordered this kit which arrived next day and works even better than I imagined. It actually removed every single spec of dust off the sensor, it also removed the smudges and it looks brand new! Excellent piece of kit and worth every penny. If you have dusts or hairs, this combined with a blower is all you will ever need. 5 Stars absolutely fantastic!
