VSGO Full Frame Sensor Cleaning Kit, 12pcs Sensor Swabs & 10ml Sensor Cleaner for Nikon Sony Canon DSLR Camera Clean (VS-S03-12)

My cameras see a lot of action, from red carpets to concerts, to remote area landscapes to studio work my cameras are used regularly and in not-so-great environments. I change lenses a lot too. Needless to say I have had to clean the sensores a lot. From (L-R) in the photos are this VSGO full sensor kit ($23.99), the Eclipse optical solution and swabs ($100) I bought maybe 15 years ago, for that price it better last 15 years and the delkin swabs ($20) I bought a while back. Now the eclipse swabs you can see are a material wrapped around a plastic stick held on with a rubber band. The swab seams barbaric in comparison with the others. The delkin is basically the same thing minus the rubber band and having dual ends. The VSGO is by far the more refined product. I use a lit loupe to be able to see my sensors to make sure they're clean and undamaged and after using the eclipse with their swabs or the delkin swabs I would see streaks on the sensors and would have to swipe it multiple times to rid not only dust but the streaks. It's been that way from the time I bought it, I figured that was just a thing with it and people I talked to who also used it confirmed this. So I let it go. But I recently thought maybe tech had changed and there might be superior products out there. This VSGO is a superior product and superior cleaning ability a superior price and all around better product than the others I have used. I like that the swabs are in a vacuum sealed individual pouch. The delkin is just in a remedial bag and the eclipse came loose held together with a rubber band. When I cleaned my sensors just now, I used hand blowers to remove the big stuff then ran the cleaner and the swab across the sensors in one direction 3 times then blew off with a hand blower again and looked through the loop. No dust. No streaks. No little hairs or fuzz. Just a wonderful clean sensor. Very nice. Will be buying this again and he buying a second kit to go in my travel cases.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Bought this after researching several kits out on Amazon and watching several videos on cleaning your sensor. I was having spots on my images that remained after I swapped lenses - thus concluding it was my sensor. I do swap lenses quite a bit, so it made sense. Make sure you choose the right width of swab for your camera. They come in full-frame (24mm), APS-C (16mm) and micro 4/3 (10mm) widths. Choose accordingly so they fit your sensor. It arrived quickly and was very easy to use. Make sure you remove the stopper in the dropper bottle and use 1-2 drops on one side of the swab and wipe sensor (locked in place) with solution side and then wipe other direction with dry side. Done. I wish the Full Frame kit had a better dropper on solution and that it was available with a blower and cloth like other size kits. Overall, it got the job done well and removed all dust from my sensor. And it saved me a trip to the camera store to pay for a cleaning. I do recommend letting a store give it a good cleaning every year or so if you use it enough. But this is great for in-betweens.

I purchased a used Canon EOSR. The camera is in excellent condition. But there were some persistent spots on the sensor. They showed up on light colored images when you blew up the image. Saw a video that recommended this sensor cleaner. So took a chance and made the purchase. The cleaning process was quick and simple. Took one minute. Did a test shot and there are no spots on a white image that previously showed numerous spots. I’m beyond thrilled with the results from this $20 purchase. Highly recommended.

Works well. Make sure to put the sensor in cleaning mode so it locks the stabilizer in place.

These worked for me, remove the dust and dirt without streaking. All in one cleaning, no streaks and dust gone. The reviews saying it’s hard to get the cleaner out of bottle, there’s an inner lid you have to remove off the top of the bottle. It’s more like a gasket that sets between the cap inner surface and the bottle.

The kit works well, however, it did not remove all spots from my Sony A7C sensor. After cleaning it 3 times, I was still noticing 3 small spots at the same positions again and again. I solved the problem by using 2 brushes. I sprayed the 1st brush with Maxell Cleaner, Polish and Sealer, which is Step 2 solution from Maxell CD/DVD cleaning kit I bought long time ago. After cleaning the sensor with this brush, I used the 2nd brush as described in the manual with 1 drop of the solution provided and I finally got the sensor clean. In conclusion, the cleaning liquid provided with the kit (likely, methanol or ethyl alcohol) has limited cleaning power. It will remove dust, but not particles that stick to the sensor surface. A 2nd solution with greater cleaning powers should be included with the kit.

I used to use blower, sensor brush and SensorKlear to clean the sensor. These methods can be effective on dry dust but may not be adequate on stubborn spots and wet method is the way to go. The VSGO swab and cleaning fluid is fairly easy, safe and effective to use. However, the cleaning fluid bottle could be better designed as it can be hard to see/control the drops. Swab being too wet will cause streaks on the sensor. My camera sensor had a tough spot (more of a short streak) and a regular two passes (with some pressure as the sensor is not stabilized/suspended) didn't remove it. Instead of using a new swab, I reuse the current one, two passes and the spot (could be oil from shutter as it's near the top edge?) was still there. I ended up using a bit extra cleaning fluid and focused cleaning just in that area, let the swab dry a bit then followed with the recommended left to right, then right to left sweeping. I probably used the same swab 5-6 times and it finally left me a spotless sensor. If you are cleaning one sensor and the first two passes doesn't give you good result, it appears to be safe and effective to use the same swab again. I would use a blower to get rid of possible contamination on the tip before sweeping the sensor again. Otherwise, I would be left with half box of swabs after just one sensor cleaning. If you see visible streaks on the sensor due to too much cleaning fluid on the swab, let the swab dry for half minute then try two passes again. If you see less streaks, repeat the previous step (may be more than once) and you should end up with a sensor with no streaks at all. No need to use a new dry swab as the dry one may not completely remove the streaks.

Exactly what I needed to get a drop off my canon R8. I had to use 2 since it had been there a while. Luckily it has plenty of sticks. Follow instructions exactly. Size is perfect, good value.

Great

Works great.

Super happy with purchase, dispenser could be more like an eye dropper versus a jar as it lacked liquid pour control. However, the product worked fantastic. I knew I had a spot on my sensor but did not know how dirty it really was. Once cleaned and tested my sensor looks great. Super Happy.

Limpié el sensor de mis dos cámaras (Fx3 y ZVE1) luego de haberlos manchado con aire comprimido. Luego de 3 limpiezas quedaron en perfectas condiciones.

Excellent product, it cleaned my Nikon Z50 sensor perfectly. Would recommend.
