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.

D-SLR Brush -- did not work well for me Jan 28, 2011 By Dr. Peter Muller
What I knew before starting the cleaning was the following:
(1) The sensor brush needs to be "charged" with air before every single stroke across the sensor.
(2) It is vital to keep the brush clean and dust free.
(3) It is important to avoid any contact with anything but the sensor surface.

Number (1) is not difficult to do and number (2) is obvious. What I did not realize, however, is how difficult it is to follow point (3). Thom Hogan warns on his web page to "be very careful about what the brush comes into contact with, or else you'll have an even more difficult cleaning chore to deal with" (see[..]). Even though he wrote that sentence about a different product, it holds true for the D-SLR Sensor Cleaning Brush as well. The brush did get rid of most (but not all) of the dust, however after the fourth application, it transferred some grease to the sensor. I managed to get rid of most of the grease with the brush, but after 20 minutes of cleaning there still was some of the original dust left and there still was a slight grease smear.

What I learned from experience is to insert the brush into the chamber diagonally to keep the edges of the brush away from the chamber walls. Only when the brush is about to make contact with the sensor surface, I align the edges of the brush to be parallel with the edge of the chip. This minimizes brush-wall contacts and thus optimizes the cleaning results. Altogether, after many many applications, my sensor was cleaner than when I started, but still not clean enough for my taste. I ordered Eclipse Cleaning System Solution and Type 3 Sensor Swabs and started wet cleaning. This is also not trivial but perfectly doable and works really well. My sensor was very dirty so it took seven swabs to get it clean, but it is clean now!

A final word of encouragement for everybody afraid to touch their sensors (as I had been for many years): it really is not at all difficult and you should not be afraid of it. I would recommend to skip the sensor brush, though, and go directly from blowing into the sensor chamber with a Giottos AA1900 Rocket Air Blaster Large (Black) to wet cleaning.

Works great Jul 12, 2009 By M. Miller
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.

Works as advertised. Apr 03, 2008 By P. Tran
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.

Not too sure of the utility Mar 02, 2009 By Seenu Subbu "Seenu Subbu"
First impressions:
I had severe dust formation on my sensor, that ruined a lot of good photos I shot during a recent trip. I bought the Eclipse solution, the wet swabs (paying a *lot* of money. Rocket blower didn't help. Wet swabs, after four attempts, did not help! It wouldn't make sense to use this brush after that point but I did try. Between every stroke, I did "charge" the brush, but nothing came out of these many attempts.
Finally had to take it to a camera shop and pay some more money to clear the ugly dust spots.
I'll change my mind if I am convinced otherwise, but at the moment I am not sure.

Sensor Cleaning Brush May 27, 2011 By Roland Mata
If you enjoy maintaining your camera rather than sending it out for cleaning, then this brush will do the job. If you're looking for the perfect brush to clean your camera's sensor or reflect lens look no further. Be sure to note the size of your camera's sensor before ordering, not all sensors are the same size.
