Sensor Dry Cleaning Sticky Kit for Sony DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras

There were specs on the sensor of my Sony A7R2 that would not come off after trying the camera's cleaning mode, a blower, and a sensor brush. So I was afraid that somehow the surface got scratched. However, I tried the Anokay cleaner (the red one is specifically for Sony cameras), and it came right off. Very easy to use, and more importantly, effective.

I almost never write reviews and I don't like to be negative but I don't want what happened to me to happen to any of the other potential buyers of this product. First let me say that I read the instructions carefully. The instructions caution the user to not allow the sticky head to remain in contact with the sensor for any length of time. When I used the sensor cleaner the adhesive that traps the dirt adhered to my sensor! It cost me over $400 to have the camera repaired. I was overly cautious so that I did not allow the sticky head to remain on the sensor for any length of time at all. If after reading this you still want to give this a try I would highly recommend that you take a piece of glass or a filter and try it on the filter to get the feel for how short of period time is required to leave the sticky head on the sensor without the glue sticking to the sensor.Customer service? I got the email from the seller's asking me to testify that they had a great product. I told them of my experience and my recommendations for testing the cleaning stick on another piece of glass prior to using it on a camera sensor but no response.

Perfect for the Sony A7rii/A7ii. I use the original Eyelead product but was a bit concerned using it on the new IBIS cameras as it lifted the sensor too much. Glad they came out with this new model. These products are worth every penny you pay for them.

I've been cleaning dirty sensors for about a decade or so - and this sensor cleaning stick just does not work. It is not effective. Maybe my expectations were set to high? But for $50 I would expect this to do more than a $10 bulb/blower. Don't forget, this only comes with 10 pieces of viscous paper, what happens when you run out?Definitely not a replacement for a wet cleaning.

Helpful way to clean a mirrorless camera sensor. The mirrorless cameras a bit more susceptible to dust motes and benefit from this technique.

I didn't really think it would work but, WOW.

Very easy to use

The adhesive on the rubber end came off on the sensor of my A7R ii. This was particularly noticeable after cleaning the rubber head on the included sticky cleaning paper. Do yourself a favor and don't use this product on the Alpha series of Sony mirrorless cameras. The product deserves a minus 5 rating. If you're thinking that I or the other poster who gave it one star did something wrong...you'd be correct. We both used a very faulty product that we believed would clean dust...but all it did was make a mess. AVOID!!!Update: Was able to clean my sensor with a few drops of Photographic Solutions Eclipse 0.5 oz. Optic Cleaner for Sensors and Lenses on the leading edge of Neewer® NW-26 10-Piece 24mm Disposable Sensor Cleaning Swab Cleaning Kit for Full Frame (CCD/CMOS) Digital Camera Sensor. I used Eclipse rather than Photographic Solutions Aeroclipse Digital Sensor Cleaning Fluid because Eclipse is supposed to be stronger and I believed I needed stronger as I was dealing with more than dust. I locked up the sensor by putting it in cleaning mode...running sensor cleaning, then leaving the camera on as recommended by Brian Smith to lock the sensor in place. Once back and forth seemed to clean off any imprints from the sticky paper/rubber, but did leave some swirls. I then tried a new piece of PEC-PAD Lint Free Wipes 4"x4" 100per/Pkg cut and held over the Swab to give it a new surface. 2 drops of eclipse and I ran it over the sensor back and forth without turning the swab (so I used each side once). Still some dust particles and residue. Tried again with new piece of Pec-pad, same result. So, I took a new swab out of the Neewer package and tried that with 2 drops of Eclipse on the edge...and that seemed to clean everything up nicely. Those swabs work better than the Pec-pads. In the future, if all I have to clean off is dust, I'll use the Aeroclipse.
