Product Description
The Eyelead sensor and lens cleaning kit SCK-1 has an adhesive rubber head with a high viscuosity which will allow you to effectively remove dust from the sensor of your camera. Using the Eyelead dust-sticking brush is a very efficient and secure way to clean the sensor or lenses. It doesn't leave any traces or marks at all. You can easily do it yourself and will not have to invest in expensive cleaning services.
Important information: According to a recent review, this item may not be for Sony Mirrorless Cameras. Apparently the sensors of those cameras are treated with a product that is not 100% for the stick and there may be some marks left behind.
The Eyelead SCK-1 is however fully for Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Pentax, Olympus, Leica, Fuji and Samsung interchangeable lens cameras.
Product Advisory: Sony's proprietary coating technology on its mirrorless cameras might cause the Sensor Gel Stick to leave some residue on the surface of the sensor filter, which will require thorough wet cleaning. The residue can be removed with a wet cleaning solution, but might take significant effort to clean it. Therefore, we recommend that you do NOT use the Sensor Gel Stick on Sony mirrorless cameras listed below. The manufacturer of the Sensor Gel Stick is working on a different solution to clean Sony sensors, so we are planning to start offering a Sony-specific version of the Sensor Gel Stick soon. Here is the list of Sony camera models that are affected: Sony A7R, Sony A7, Sony A5000, Sony A6000, Sony NEX-7, Sony NEX-6, Sony NEX-5 (all models), Sony NEX-3 (all models). We have not heard of any other reports regarding other brand cameras.

1 x Eyelead SCK-1 Sensor Cleaning Kit

Been using this solution for a number of years ow and it seems to work well. Be very careful pressing down on the camera sensor and all should be great. Recommended.

With the help of a small LED light, I was able to remove all the dust spots on my sensors, it took a few passes. All in all probably spent 30min and got it done.

You are literally taking a sticky square gummy thing and sticking it to your camera's sensor. When you pull it away, you get quite a little resistance before it comes loose. It also wont work with a smudge on the sensor of any kind.However, for what it is, it works great. But here is what you do. Lock up the mirror, and use a cotton sensor cleaner with a drop of liquid to thoroughly clean the sensor. In the process, you will hit the edges around the housing, and a few little specs of crud will fall into the camera. THEN use the Eyelead, going in a row pattern, and do the sticky clean, like cleaning lint off of cloth with tape. You will have a spotless sensor.

The printed user instructions are thorough and provide detail that I did not see online. It even specifies the dilution of alcohol for cleaning the gel swab, not surprising for a product from Germany.When used on a full frame Nikon D750 the result was excellent. Removal of dust and spots, leaving no residue on the sensor. It's a welcome alternative to a sensor brush, something that I'd use before resorting to sensor swabs and a wet cleaning solution.

Arrived without adequate adhesiveness. Maybe out of date? Returned it for another. YouTube videos demonstrated far more stickiness.

Soddisfatto in pieno!Dopo avere provato di tutto e di più, con questo prodotto sono riuscito dove con gli altri avevo fallito.Già dopo la prima passata era accettabilissimo il sensore della mia reflex, poi alla seconda si è raggiunto la perfetta pulizia dello stesso.Consiglio vivamente questo tampone, facilissimo da usare anche per persone poco esperte.Avevo una gran paura di fare qualche danno al sensore, ma appena iniziato il lavoro mi sono reso conto della sua delicatezza. Premetto che prima dell' acquisto mi ero informato e avevo visto pure un filmato della pulizia del sensore in rete.Prodotto da 10 e lode, con una sola pulizia si è già ripagato da solo.

En busca del sistema de limpieza definitivo para el sensor de mi cámara réflex, di con este sistema de Eyelead, y para mi, si que ha sido el sistema definitivo. Al principio puede dar un poco de miedo usarlo porque es como una pequeña gelatina que tienes que posar encima del sensor y al tener una textura un poco pegajosa crees que va a dejar alguna residuo en el sensor de la cámara, pero todo lo contrario.El sistema funciona de la siguiente manera:1. Pones la cámara en modo limpieza de sensor para que levante el espejo de la cámara y deje a la vista el sensor al completo2. Con el Stick lo vas presionando suavemente (presionando y levantando) por toda la superficie del sensor para que recoja todas las posibles motas de polvo que haya.3. Ahora abres unas de las hojas adhesivas ("pegatinas") que vienen en el kit, y sobre ellas haces el mismo proceso (presionar y levantar) que antes con el sensor, pero esta vez encima de la hoja adhesiva. Con esto consigues traspasar la suciedad del stick a la hoja adhesiva.4. Repites el proceso varias veces utilizando diferentes zonas limpias de la hoja adhesiva, para evitar coger otra vez la suciedad. Cuando la hoja adhesiva ya esté llena de las motas de polvo que hayas recogido, se deshecha. En una nueva limpieza, se utilizará una nueva hoja adhesiva (en el kit vienen varias).Al hablar de hojas adhesivas y el stick "pegajoso" puede dar la sensación de que se usan pegamentos o sustancias que van a dejar residuos o suciedad en la cámara; pero para nada es así. De hecho puedes ver videos de fabricantes conocidos como Leica, Canon, etc que utilizan éste método en sus fábricas y en sus procesos de limpieza de cámara en sus Servicios técnicos.Como digo al principio siempre da un poco de miedo y respeto, pero haciéndolo con cuidado y seguridad, los resultados son excelentes.Prefiero éste sistema que otros en los que hay que frotar con líquidos y por muy suaves que sean las superficies, frotar con algo, si que puede producir arañazos en el sensor. En definitiva un producto MUY recomendado.

Ich habe vorher meinen Kamerasensor immer nass gereinigt.Das hat gut funktioniert und das Ergebnis war immer sehr gut. Nur war es meines Erachtens relativ umständlich in der Handhabung.Als ich durch einen Beitrag/Test auf einer Foto-Seite im Internet ([...]) auf dieses Tool aufmerksam geworden bin, habe ich es mir sofort bestellt, da ich mir erhofft hatte so meinen Sensor genauso effektiv, jedoch schneller und unkomplizierter von Staub befreien zu können.Als auf dem Sensor mal wieder größere Staubflecken zu sehen waren, war es soweit.Mit dem Tupfer entsprechend der Anleitung über den Sensor gegangen. Augenscheinlich war danach nix mehr an Staub auf dem Sensor zu erkennen. Objektiv wieder auf die Kamera gesetzt, Testfoto bei Blende 22 gemacht und es waren keine Flecken mehr zu sehen. Das ganze hat maximal 3-5 Minuten gedauert. Für eine Nassreinigung habe ich immer sehr viel mehr Zeit benötigt.Fazit:+ einfach in der Handhabung+ praktische Transportbox mit dabei+ entfernt Staub schnell und effektiv vom Sensor+ nach meiner Einschätzung/Erfahrung genauso effektiv wie eine Nassreinigung (zumindest habe ich bisher keinen Vorteil der Nassreinigung gegenüber diesem Tool gesehen), jedoch viel schnellerAbsolute Kaufempfehlung!

So far I have to say I'm disappointed. I ordered this as the German version. It came from China (with a Chinese postcard...I suspect that 'tourism' addition puts them in a different tariff category or something) Nevertheless, it looks authentic as a German product. I followed the instructions to the letter....Opened in a calm room, began by pressing against the peeled off (yet not overly sticky) sheet a couple of times to preclean the dabber. Then carefully pressed lightly in the center of the sensor where I had a stubborn speck. It picked that up perfectly....AND left a smear on the sensor that matched the rectangle shape. I pressed onto the paper again, actually saw the speck on the paper and applied the stick to the sensor again...just to the right and it left even more junk on the sensor.... all in straight lines. I tried tapping like i would with rubber cement ball to remove rubber cement from an area to see if it would pick up its own residue and got some of it but I still have sticky crap on the sensor. Not happy at the moment... especially if this is not the 'real' product and Amazon sold it anyway. Sigh.

The gel block had dust and debris stuck to it out of the box (which is surprising for a dust removal tool). Never mind—after being cleaned before use—it removed all but one dust spot on my camera sensor. Easy to use and effective.

Best Sensor cleaner for sure, better than Visible Dust !Used this to clean the sensors on my pro DSLR cameras. Nikon D4 and Nikon D800.Both cameras are used daily for pro work. (sometimes in dusty horse arenas)The gel stick is simple to use, dab it on the sensor and watch the dust come off.When you put the gel on the sticky paper I was surprised how much dirt was on it.This is much easier way to clean your sensor and very effective.So how does it compare to wet clean swabs such as Visible Dust ?With Visible dust i found it would leave streaks on the sensor, and I would need to use several swabs to get a good clean sensor.Eyelead did a brilliant job considering how dirty the sensor had got over a long summer of intense use.The first complete dab of the sensor picked up alot of dirt, dab'd the gel on sticky paper. Second dab of sensor and no spots visible at all.Test setupNikon D4/D800 Iso 100, Tamron SP 90mm 1:1 f2.8 prime macro lens at f45, tripod, white piece of a4 paper.Before cleaning, dirt clearly visible in shots.After cleaning, nothing visible at all, fantastic. Pure white.Using this product cleaning is faster and easier.I have total confidence in using it, no damage was caused to the sensor at all.I would advise buying the extra sticky pads if you will be cleaning your sensor often.To clean one full frame sensor used up 1 pad, the sensor was very dirty to start with.As it is so easy to use and extremely effective I am happy to clean my sensor more often. Normally I would clean it every 6 monthsNow every 3 months as its simple to do.
