Micro Four Thirds 4/3 (MFT or M43) 12pcs Sensor Cleaning Swabs and 15ml Liquid Cleaner for Mirrorless (MILC) and ILDC Cameras – VSGO DDR12

The price of this kit, compared to the more famous brand I have religiously bought in the past, made me hesitate and rethink two or three times before I hit the buy button. Cleaning sensors has never been a fun or easy thing for me, and I tend to put it off until the sensor is covered with dust, oil spots, and other image-damaging stuff.So when this arrived, I had four cameras, all in desperate need of cleaning. I am used to using multiple swabs and it taking several attempts to get my sensor clean and streak free. Imagine my surprise when using these swabs and the accompanying fluid, I was able to clean half the sensors with a single swab, and the other half with two. Very effective, left my sensor completely clean and free from spots, and no streaks whatsover. Unless you're a total Klutz, don't even think about paying a shop $80 to clean your camera's sensor -- use these and spend the savings at a nice restaurant.I suppose if I were to pick nits, I would say that figuring out which size to buy is more work than it needs to be. But at the price, just buy a few extra sizes, and you're still WAY ahead of the far more expensive options. Make sure you make note of which size actually fits your camera right, so that you can order the right one next time.

So glad I found this. I will almost certainly be ordering another kit. I could visibly see debris on the sensor of my Panasonic Lumix GH3 and tried to remove it with cleaning wipes. I made a mess and ordered this kit.There is no way to duplicate the abilities of this kit. I don't know if it is the wands or the formula, or the combination but it truly works. My sensor was terribly dirty so I ended up using most of the included wands in just one cleaning. I found it difficult to swipe smoothly all the way from one end to the other. I also had to apply some solution.My sensor didn't want to dry quickly so I just used another wand to help wick up some of the excess liquid. I feel much more confident about cleaning my sensor now and will plan to check it more regularly. I recommend this kit for micro four thirds sized cameras.

Works exactly as you hope it to, and not overpriced. Safe to use even with 5-axis stabilized MFT sensor...with normal care, of course.Oh, PLEASE NOTE: If you want an optically flawless and perfectly well-lit view of your cleaning "operation," I have to recommend the fantastic Glam Hobby H6902B head mounted magnifying glasses here on Amazon; those are the Bargain of the Century at under $20. They make sensor cleaning such a breeze! Seriously consider those.

I bought these because I received an olympus omd em5 mk1 from ebay and the seller "forgot" to mention the camera had water or something splash directly on the sensor. As I got a good deal on the camera I figured I could try to clean this myself instead of paying $50 to send it away to be cleaned and waiting the 2 weeks for it to get back, or returning it to the jerk seller. I was nervous about this but that was unfounded, it was a super easy process and after the first swab it was much cleaner. My sensor was much worse off than most but after using 5 swabs (1 pass per swab), it looks and works like a perfectly new sensor. All that said, this camera cost me only $150 plus the cost of these swabs, well worth it to me but cleaning a sensor can turn very bad, I would not have attempted this on my brand spanking new em10 mk2. But with a steady hand, clean area for cleaning, and patience, I believe these will work for even the ugliest sensors.

The swabs are too narrow for a micro four thirds sensor. These are 12mm and Olympus and Panasonic MFT sensors are 20mm. None of the VSGO come in 20mm as far as I can tell. I am not sure why the company recommends the 12mm size for micro four thirds. It really doesn't make sense at all.Also, I have found that the cleaning solution has not been able to clean off some particles even after cleaning wet with 5 swabs. Additionally using the solution has left residue that has very negatively affected the sharpness of my images.Finally, the provided instructions are not very clear.I know this product seems to be recommended frequently, but I highly suggest something else instead. I am going to give "Dust Patrol" instead.This one:https://www.amazon.com/Alpha-Sensor-Cleaning-Swabs-Gamma/dp/B01C4ITWKE/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=dust+patrol+kit+20mm&qid=1578079613&sr=8-3

Used these on an OM-D E-M5II, not quite the proper size to cover entire sensor in one pass, instead did one pass at top and other at bottom w/ overlap in the middle. Took me 4 swabs to get the dust off the sensor, more than I anticipated, but had never done this before. However, sensor now appears clean and images free of the fuzzy black dots! I would give the dust blower a try before using a swab, but that alone did not work for me.

Ya, I got a Panasonic G9 less than a month ago, and just about 2 weeks after receiving it, I am swapping out lenses and place my finger smack dab on the sensor, DOHHHH!! All I can do is check out my fingerprint looking up at me from my camera body, and it is saying to me, look at what you've done. Bummed, I go online and find this product. I think less than $20.00 to clean my sensor definitely worth a try. It gets delivered to me promptly, 2 drops of cleaning solution, (1 on each side of the cleaning swap), and 2 lightly pressured swipes of the swap against the sensor, and voila no more fingerprint, (YEAHH!!) it was very easy. I felt safe using it. I will always have this little gem in my camera bag, I highly recommend.

My camera had a spot on the sensor that was showing up in some images (Usually as a darker area in blue skies). I had tried cleaning it with a cleaning kit of another brand that I've had for a few years but it just wouldn't come off. I was beginning to think I had gotten a drop of saltwater into the camera and that the sensor was damaged. I decided to try this kit before giving up. After using one swab the spot was gone and with the second swab, the sensor was perfect looking again. I'm not sure if the other kit was just inneffective, or if cleaning fluid just goes bad after a few years, but this one worked easily and perfectly.

Well, I bought a Panasonic G9 camera and did not use it much before taking it to Florida and the Bahamas on holiday.Everything seemed fine whilst away. Then when I came home and edited my footage on a large screen, I was disheartened to see 4 blobs on the footage- particularly evident against the blue skies.Some tests later and I quickly discovered it was not the lenses, but the sensor.I tried blasting it off with the Amazon basics air blower (v good by the way) but that did not shift it.It did not really look like dust- no dust evident on the sensor.I wondered if the camera was faulty, then I remembered that on one occasion I had it in my backpack with cold drinks and when I pulled it out, it got condensation on it. Not much of a problem I thought as the G9 is dust and splash proof, but then I wondered if I had my 25mm lens on at the time which is not weather sealed. I also wondered if the extreme change in temps could have caused some condensation anyway on the sensor.Anyway, I learnt my lesson there and have bought a Lowenpro Fastpack with separate camera compartment so it won't happen again.Now, suspecting the blobs were possibly dried moisture particles on the sensor, I bought this.It took 3 swabs before they were all gone (each swab should only be used for 2 passes- 1 pass either side).Now my sensor is blob free.Do not be afraid to clean the sensor, it is really easy, and you will not break it. Just ensure you only use two single drops of the cleaner per swab and only do 1 pass with each side of the swab. Then throw it away.No need to pay Panasonic etc a ridiculous £100+ per time to do this fairly simple job.Also before cleaning give the sensor an air blast. Also do not exert too much presssure, but there will be a bit of a flex in the stem as you swab.Also if your mirrorless camera has image stabilisation, turn that off and turn the camera on, to lock the sensor before doing it, otherwise it will shift about as you are attempting to swab it.Good luck with that sensor cleaning- your camera will need it at some stage (particularly if you do video where it is much more visible on moving images), so learning to do it and taking that leap is no bad thing at all.

Very easy to use. I managed to get what I think was probably a spot of liquid or pollen on the sensor of my Panasonic gx80, I read a few reviews and bought the kit I read the instructions and found a couple of videos on YouTube. My camera has in body stabilisation and I found that I had to power on the camera to stop the sensor movement. I used three swabs to clean the sensor and applied 2 drops of liquid cleaner to each swab as instructed. The kit may seem expensive but it's about a third of what a camera shop will charge to clean the sensor. The solution can also be used to clean the lenses and other parts of the camera.

Bought it to clean the sensor of my Lumix GX-80 and works a treat. Easy to use and completely cleaned off all the crud. Just follow the instructions to the letter and you can't go wrong. It took 3 swabs to clean the M43 sensor so if that's normal then I've got 4 more sensor cleans. That's about £3 a clean so a real bargain if you consider that having it cleaned professionally can cost over £40. The second bonus is that the swabs can also be used to clean your lenses. Very pleased overall.

Good item. A bit expensive for what it is. But nicely packaged. I like the fact that each cloth is individually packaged to keep it clean until needed.

Very good kit, sealed swabs and lens cleaner and bottle of solution all in a tray, worked well cleaning my sensor on camera full instructions included on cleaning sensors and lenses.
