Product Description

You can't stop your digital SLR's image sensor from getting dirty, but with the right tools you can have peace-of-mind in knowing that the sensor will be clean each and every time you use your camera. The Sensor Scope Kit is a cleaning system that is second-to-none in taking the guesswork out of maintaining a spotless sensor inside your digital SLR.


Product Details

  • Brand: Delkin
  • Model: DDSS-SCOPE
  • Dimensions: 2.25 pounds

Features

  • Includes - SensorScope, SensorVac, SensorWands, SensorSolution, and Carrying Case.
  • The primary piece of equipment in this kit is the SensorScope. An electronic scope that uses ultra-bright LED illumination, coupled with 5x magnification, to let you visually see if your image sensor is dirty - and how dirty it actually is. After cleaning, use the SensorScope again to make sure the sensor is truly clean. Not only does this ensure that every picture is taken with a perfect sensor, but it also saves you money by not wasting your cleaning supplies unnecessarily. Now we'll move on
  • You start the process with the SensorVac. Use the SensorVac to vacuum away the easy stuff. The SensorVac tip is a static-free brush that will not shed or scratch your image sensor like some cheaper alternatives. The SensorVac features cordless operation using 4 AA batteries that are not included.
  • Use one of the 12 included SensorWands to eliminate smaller particles the SensorVac left behind. Especially those that are chemically bonded to the sensor. Each SensorWand double-ended with a wet and a dry pad to break up the gunk and whisk it away.
  • Use the SensorSolution to get the tough spots still left behind. The special formula leaves no residue, is quick drying, alcohol free and safe for air travel. In this kit, you get one. 25 oz. bottle.

Gets the dust... but leaves streaks.2
This is one of the riskiest products on the market today.

I will admit, the scope does a great job of letting you see the dust that is on your sensor (I use a Canon 5D) but the cleaning materials leave a lot to be desired. Do yourself a favor and let your camera manufacturer clean your sensor for you. No stress and guaranteed workmanship.

I saw a few specks of dust that hampered a few of my shots. But after using the cleaning swabs and liquid, even after drying, the streaks were very visible, and I dare to say the sensor has microscopic abrasions on it.

Please, if you love your equipment, save your cash and go with the manufacturers.

Can't see the dust3
Unlike the other reviewer, I CAN'T see the dust on my Fuji S5 sensor with the Sensorscope. Perhaps a few of bigger specs, but not many of them. I was hoping the scope would relieve the incredible tedium of cleaning, taking a picture, adjusting and viewing it on the PC, and then cleaning again, etc. Since I can't actually see the dust, the Sensorcope has not helped this process. Perhaps my older eyes aren't up to the task? Reading glasses didn't help.
Regarding streaks, I don't have that problem. I believe any swab system will leave streaks if too much fluid is used.
I ASSUME the cheap little vacuum works, but it's hard to tell.

Lots of problems. Poor quality2
I bought this product when it first came out. The scope works but there is a much better product by Visible Dust which I have bought and sold this one on Ebay. The swabs were full of lint and came apart upon use. I would not dare use them on my sensor. The Vac is just useless. I threw the swabs out and sold the rest. Very disappointed especially how this product was priced very high. The sensorscope and first class swabs then this would have been a 3* product - I am being generous at 2*. I had expected much more from this firm. My previous experiences had been good.
