Works great with a little extra help

Very dirty sensor cleaned well. Left a few stains and streaks. I was able to complete the cleaning with the Lenspen Sensor Cleaner. Lenspen LENSK1A Sensorklear II with flexible tip

Pros
  • Made in USA
Cons
  • Doubtful

This product made things worse

Unfortunately I have to agree with the reviewer who only gave it one star. I bought these because some other brands only offer the 16mm version which is not ideal for the Nikon APS-C sensor. After using them, I had significantly more dust spots on the sensor than before. In the end I managed to get most of the dust off with the UES VSGO DDR16S swabs. Although VSGO tampons are only 16mm wide, they did their job much better than this product.

Pros
  • Refill size
Cons
  • Secret

Just avoid this brand

Don't write bad reviews and rarely leave reviews unless I feel like I can really help someone get something or stay away. Avoid this at all costs. I saw the dust fly off one of them when I opened it. They should cost no more than $10. I sometimes don't pay attention to other negative reviews on most products in general but if you are reading this stay away. If you get this and have a horrible experience, remember I warned you. I got it based on positive reviews. Don't guys.

Pros
  • Best sensor cleaning sticks available
Cons
  • Some problems

The best swabs at a great price

As a professional photographer, I do about 100,000 shutter clicks a year. These sensory swabs go a long way and clean very well. Previously used by other well-known brands, these swabs fit the transducer snugly and evenly with no sharp edges. Keep in mind that after 5,000 or 10,000 triggers, 5 or more wet swabs may be required to clean the sensor. Any tampon can leave a small streak from time to time, just make sure you catch it (visible to the naked eye by looking at the sensor) and usually…

Pros
  • For APS-C format cameras
Cons
  • Very expensive
