Had a major issue with dust and debris on the sensor of my Canon 5D Mark II. Ordered this kit (including the cleaning solution), and now can shoot at any f stop without the photos being unusable (Yes, it was that bad that even using my well known Adobe programs would have taken way too long to clean up the mess, especially at f/22). I'd already tried cleaning the sensor several times, but didn't have any cleaning fluid, and honestly, was kind of afraid to use anything liquid. Did my research, and decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did.

Just a word of caution. The swabs included in this kit are specifically for crop factor cameras, so I'll save those for my 7D II. I already had some full frame swabs that I used instead. Speaking of swabs, I found they work better if you bend the stems before attempting to swab the sensor. Much less chance of scratching or breaking the sensor than applying pressure on it by trying to bend the swab while on the sensor.

Love the little case too. Very handy for keeping things together and in one place. I'm notorious for losing small camera gear, which is why I'm so happy this set came with the lens pen type brush. Had a larger one for years, but of course, I have no clue where it's hiding, now that I need it.

Interesting note..... photos look much much better (used a blue sky as my tester), but when I look in the view finder, all the "stuff" I saw is still showing (including what looks to be a dead ant...... don't ask.. I haven't a clue.. LOL), but if that's where all that stuff is, no worries, as that doesn't show up in the photos. Just annoying to see in the view finder.

Looks like this east coast gal is going to have to get used to all the dust here in the desert and how it seeps into everything. Seriously considering keeping my raincoat (camera version) on the camera at all times.

Very pleased with this little set, and glad I ordered it. And very happy to report that I am no longer afraid to mess around with the most important part of my expensive cameras.

First, for anyone worried about cleaning your own sensor, don't be. It is remarkably simple and this kit has a pretty good instruction sheet inside and there is no shortage of videos on YouTube about it. As for me, the Altura Photo Professional Cleaning Kit is exactly what I needed. I shoot with a Sony alpha77ii with an APS-C sensor and I had noticed photo quality was declining. The self-cleaning function helped a little but not enough. I went to get it cleaned at a local shop and they wanted almost $100 to clean the sensor, so I laughed and ordered this kit. It has everything you could really need, including a filter rocket. The main draw for me though was the sensor swabs, they seem very well made, and the solution. It took me a grand total of under 5 minutes to clean the sensor and the photos are back to their original quality.

My advice using the kit, don't be over zealous with the spray (you don't want streaks) and be prepared to use 2 swabs, one wet one dry, if you do use too much spray. I wish Altura Photo offered the swabs separately since the solution will last me until I die but there are only 6 swabs. The reason I went with this kit instead of swabs alone from a different manufacturer is that I needed a new blower and the extra lens pen is always nice.

I bought this because I had found my sensor had 3 spots on it, that I could see and no one else...
Upon further inspection, and being told to photoshop the picture to show more contrast and dropping down white and highlights, I found I had hundreds of spots. Mostly on the upper left hand corner.
I received this yesterday, took me less than 2 minutes. I used very little to no liquid while watching youtube video they recommended and though I counted about 11 hard to see spots, I am VERY happy with the results. This was used on a Nikon D90 that I bought about 2012 and has never been cleaned until yesterday.
Amazing product and I loved the case it came in. Figured I'd probably store the stuff it came with in another place and use case to carry batteries/cards/adapters/etcetera... sMall items I don't want to lose.

Out of all the cleaning kits that i have used i have to say that this one is the best. Its ultra cheap and it works perfectly. It includes everything you need to clean your camera, lenses and your sensor and it all fits in a small case that is included. The 16mm swabs clean your M/43 sensor perfectly. The lint-free microfibre fabric is bonded to the swab handle, so it can't slip off during cleaning, and the flexible blade makes it easy to apply the correct pressure.

Each swab in the pack of 6 is sealed in foil to avoid contamination. Just add a drop or two of the cleaning solution and you're good to go. A blower is also included in the kit. BUY IT!

I bought this primarily to clean the sensor on my Canon T7i. After two years of use, one of those being in a desert environment, it was dirtier than I realized. It took four swabs to get it back to a pristine state, but the process itself is rather painless, and Digital Goja has video instructions on YouTube to guide you through it. Being able to clean the sensor myself, thus avoiding sending my camera out to have it done and paying four or five times the price of the kit would have been a great deal all by itself, but the added items included, the soft brush, the lens tissue, cleaning fluid, micro-fiber cloth and blower, rubber fingerprint eraser, have added a whole new level of confidence in keeping my equipment clean. I should have purchased this the same day I bought my camera. The pictures should give you a good idea as to how effective the sensor cleaning was. If you need a cleaning kit for your camera you don't need to look any further than those offered by this company.

I'll be honest. I had my doubts while purchasing this product. I didn't know if this was a brand I could trust, but I thought I might as well try it out because of the price.

I'm glad I did. This product is actually wonderful! I was actually waiting for an email from amazon so I can write a review on it! You get all the things you need to keep your camera clean at an affordable price! The microfibre cloths work really well, the swabs are great, the fluid is nice (although I haven't used it on my sensor, but on my lenses), and the case is absolutely amazing. The case really helps keep everything organized and is convenient for travel because it's sturdy and compact.

The reason why I bought this kit was because my sensor was soooo dirty - it had many dust specks on it (refer to the pics attached). To clean my sensor I did the following:
1. Use the blower while tilting the camera
2. Use 1 swab to clean dust particles that wouldn't budge
While doing this, I would regularly check my progress to see if there was improvement. And that's it! I didn't even need to use the fluid.
I was worried I would damage my sensor but couldn't afford 'professional' cleaning. Honestly, if you're also worried - don't be. It's reaaaally simple and easy. Also, this product will also last you a while if you don't like in a very dusty area because the particles normally don't build up very fast, so you may not even need it much.

I'm honestly sooo glad I bought this kit. :)
I hope this review helps.

Wow!... this kit was much better than I had expected!...I wanted to clean my crop sensor and was going to buy cleaners and fluid at a local camera store. I got three times the product for 1/3 the price buying this kit. Love the case and all the extras that came with it as well!.... Amazon delivered it sooner than I expected as well!!...
Super Pleased!!...

Great overall kit for that price. Came with an extra fabric cloth which is great. The Brush is soft and quality. the Cleaning pen is what it should be and the cleaning solution works very well. No odour or harsh chemicals. The bag/ purse holder is actual awesome and well made, great to be able to bring it on the go in a backpack or luggage. This is a "Quality Good Buy" at a reasonable price.

The product arrived ahead of schedule and that was very good for me.
I have used the kit and it work very well.
I have recommended this kits to a couple of friends.

Very nice product. Delivered before the date that was set!. I was impressed at the organization of the kit. Was even more impressed that it came in a hard Case instead of a soft case. I like how it takes less than five minutes to clean the camera and all the products work really well.

As a photographer I find when editing I spend most my time trying to erase dust spots from my photos. However after using this product and taking a few test shots I am happy to see no dust showing up in the pictures!!

I would definitely recommend this product. It's a really good cleaning kit for a well affordable price!!

Nice little cleaning set. Good value for money. I always take it along when traveling with photography gear.

Product was as advertised and was delivered prior to advised date. Product came in a very nicely organized case and was good value for the price. I would recommend this product as it can save a lot of editing due to dust from changing lens outdoors,

Everything looks good except the hand air blower, it came dirty (with dirt on the pump) and the nozzle is sticky and dirty too. Otherwise, all came brand new and unused.

Easy to use, compact and great to pack in your camera bag when traveling. My DSLR gets tlc every now and then with this kit.

Product came on time and everything is as expected . Well packed and quality materials.

Reçu rapidement et tout est parfait! Merci :)

Great kit comes with everything you need. Like the case, main reason I purchased this kit.

Pour nettoyer les lentilles de caméra et autres.
Très bon produit. Je suis très contente. Merci

Excellent rapport qualité-prix

Nice and compact with everything I need . Wouldn't hesitate to take this everywhere I take my camera.
