Do you think this would get the pesky hair off of my sensor. Blowing did not work.

I'm very glad that the product works for you. However, my D3 has an (ITO) coated sensor and I would not feel comfortable using this product. The E2 solution dries pretty much on contact and I feel more comfortable using this method for heavy cleaning.

I cant count how many times I have used Dust Aid. Its a great product. thanks!

I don't know anyone who uses this Dust Aid product and it looks too unnerving. If you have dust on your sensor I first recommend using a Rocket-air product first (holding camera upside down) OR using the Arctic Butterfly. However, if your problem is grease based then don't use the butterfly brush. Instead use Eclipse E2 solution with special swabs. The size of the swab will vary depending on your sensor size. All can usually be purchased at camera store or B&H.

you should definitely try to use dust aid! i got mine from b&h and cleaned my sensor a few days ago. it's really easy, and you dont have to worry about spilling liquids and the like

I was worried about this too...NO it doesnt. It is a very weak adhesive. I feel better about this than dumping fluids into my electric SLR.

doesn't the sticky stuff leave a sticky residue on the sensor? doesn't sound like a great idea.

I need to clean mine as I've got spots all over it. Only bought my camera in March so I'm a bit wary, but your video has boosted my confidence a bit XD Thanks very much! I intend to go to one of my local camera stores and get something to clean my sensor with. Big thank yous!!

I understand exactly how you feel- its nerve racking the first time. Ive probably cleaned over 50 cameras using this technique and to the best of my knowledge it is completely safe (and EASY!). Sounds like you have either a Canon 40D or Rebel Xsi? Dust Aid makes a kit which cleans the membrane covering the sensor, so if you have a sensor covered by a dust cleaning membrane, you should be good. Thanks for you question.

I recently bought my first DSLR and the thought of cleaning the sensor kind of scares me. How safe is this assuming that you are careful? Am I correct in saying that you are not actually touching the sensor when you clean it but actually touching a filter in front of the sensor? |
