Product Description

The D-SLR BrushTM is a high quality, fine bristled/fiber sensor cleaning brush from Germany. The nylon bristles of the D-SLR BrushTM are statically charged by blowing air through them. This not only charges the brush but it helps dislodge and remove any previously captured dust particles still in the brush. With a freshly charged brush, you whisk ever so lightly across the sensor, the charge on the bristles attracts the dust from the sensor onto the bristles leaving you with a clean sensor. No sensor cleaning brush will totally eliminate the need for the wet method of sensor cleaning, but with the D-SLR BrushTM you won't have to use the wet method as often, saving you time, products and money. The D-SLR BrushTM kit comes complete with: 1 D-SLR BrushTM & 3 ChamberSwabsTM packaged inside of a polyurethane tube for protection and storage while traveling. This kit also comes with printed instructions, all of this inside a resealable, hangable 2 mil plastic bag.

Customer Reviews

Works as advertised.
This product works quite well as long as you follow the directions. It is very important that you blow air through the bristles between brush strokes. This "charges" the brush, making it lift away and attract dirt much better. It also removes the dust that was collected during the last cleaning, ensuring that you do not redeposit this dust on your sensor.

Keep in mind that no brush will ever take the place of a good wet system when a good cleaning is needed. When my hand blower wont remove stubborn dust, I turn to this brush. When this brush will not remove dust stuck on with moisture, I use a wet cleaning system such as Eclipse E2 + Sensor Swabs. If used correctly, this product will take care of a good 90% of your sensor cleaning needs.

I have uploaded two pictures. Both pictures are of a blank word document on my computer monitor. Both pictures are at 22f with the focus set to infinity and cropped to size. My hand blower would not remove the dust in the first picture, so I broke out my trusty sensor brush. As you can see from the second picture, the brush did a good job removing most of the dust.

Works great

The time had finally come for me to attempt to clean my sensor. I have tried having it professionally done before, but with very poor results. You know what they say... If you want something done right, do it yourself. The only problem here is that it was my camera sensor. Look on the web and there are warnings all over about the risk of damaging the sensor. But, an unusable camera (due to dust) is unusable - so I decided it was time to actually try it. And it wasn't so bad.

It was pretty nerve racking, but it was fairly easy.

I used a staged approach and I bought all the stuff - the blower, the brush, and the swabs. I went through each method and it was just like you read in the other reviews. The blower took off some, the brush took off more, and the swab got all the rest.

The brush worked out pretty well, but I still had to resort to the wet method to get the more stubborn specs. As long as the dust is not stuck on, it does a pretty good job. Just make sure to read the instructions and follow them.

Overall, I'm giving five stars because the brush did exactly what I expected it to do. No complaints here.

Decent
This is a decent product, but DO NOT expect all of the dust to come off when you use this. I still have some very visible dust when using this and a rocket blower on my sensor / lenses.
