Visible Dust Zeeion Blower Sensor Cleaner

Comments about Visible Dust Zeeion Blower Sensor Cleaner:

The first principle of medicine, I mean sensor cleaning, is "do no harm." I have a cleaning kit, but have managed not to need it - I'd rather use this blower. You still have to be careful not to touch the sensor with the tip.

Comments about Visible Dust Zeeion Blower Sensor Cleaner:

I bought this blower thinking it would be 'safer' than using my regular rocket blower when cleaning my sensor, but in reality, I haven't noticed any difference. In fact, the rocket blower is better because there is a lot higher air flow than this blower, because the air isn't as restricted. I'm left wondering whether this product is more of a gimmick than something with real practical value.

Nice design and features
I always keep it with me.

We bought this blower thinking it was constructed with ESD safe materials and found that not to be the case. The body of the material does hold a charge in the order of 5,000-10,000 volts without handling. If you handle it or rub it slightly against anything the charge quickly builds up to 15,000-20,000 volts.
So the material is not ESD safe, nor anti-static safe.
However, in fairness, for their intended use on camera lenses, it should be ok since cameras are exposed to human body charges that can exceed 50,000 volts. This is like when you drag your feet on a carpet on a dry day, then touch a grounded receptacle like a light switch and see an arc of static electricity jump from your finger to the switch.
The main feature I see of this blow bulb is that the intake air comes from the rear of the bulb through a filter. Then when the bulb is squeezed, the air outlet also has a filter, so the air is very clean and you avoid any possibility of blowing out dirty air, possibly with a particle that can damage/scratch the lens being cleaned.
We purchased it for cleaning optics in an environment where the hardware is very sensitive to ESD damage and 5000 volts would certainly damage the hardware. From the classical industry definition of ESD/Static Safe, this device is not.

Remove dust as it should, do not know if the filter works but I think it is better than the normal blower

Comments about Visible Dust Zeeion Blower Sensor Cleaner:

I thought a blower is a blower, that was until I purchased a sensor scope and actually could see the dust that I was blowing on to the sensor. My other blower does not have a filter on both ends, but the Zeeion blower does and that makes all the difference. Save time, save sensor swabs, save sensor cleaner, get the Zeeion blower and stop blowing dust on to your sensor it is a no brainer.

I was hoping that this blower would remove dust and lint from my sensor (D7000) and the focusing screen on my FM3a. Unfortunately, none of the larger dust particles moved at all. Using a clean microfiber cloth on the focusing screen easily moved off the particles without any solvent or wetting solution. A[...] Overall, not the best solution.

Great blower - no dust.

Comments about Visible Dust Zeeion Blower Sensor Cleaner:

This blower slows me down, but the deliberation seemingly makes me more effective at removing dust particles. Combined with the very portable dust-attracting pad my task is done more rapidly.

Comments about Visible Dust Zeeion Blower Sensor Cleaner:

I've used many blowers in the past and didn't realize what I've been missing. All of the research and development that went into this simple looking blower is worth every penny you pay for this. It's actually a bargain even at it's high price for a blower. I've never been completely satisfied with professional cleanings that I've paid money for. After using this blower my sensor was actually completey free of any particls whatsoever. Nice.....I'll never go back to another type of blower again.

Comments about Visible Dust Zeeion Blower Sensor Cleaner:

I understand the theory about keeping the bulb from bringing dust in but all the filtration seems to slow the air down so much that this blower can only dislodge the very lightest dust.

I did find it helpful after cleaning my sensor I spotted on small piece of dust in a corner. The Zeeion did get it out and I didn't have to worry about introducing more dust into the camera. So, given that, I'm bumping my rating to 4 stars because it did what it was designed to do. I just wish it was a stronger airstream.

Can't tell the difference between a regular blower and Zeeion Blower, it did nothing to remove dust on my sensor I could have saved [$]

Comments about Visible Dust Zeeion Blower Sensor Cleaner:

Perfect for cleaning your sensor without taking the risk of scratching it. I just don´t like the color but it works perfectly

Comments about Visible Dust Zeeion Blower Sensor Cleaner:

Well I finaly bit the bullet and decided to clean my own sensor's w/3 camera's I needed to and this was one of the first items I bought and it really works very well. Comes with a nice soft case that is ideal for storage and ready to go.

Comments about Visible Dust Zeeion Blower Sensor Cleaner:

I use the Zeeion Blower to clean the sensor on my Nikon D-80 camera. It seems to work quite well. I thought it would have more force. I like the technology imployed in the product. It is small enough to carry in my camera bag. It does a pretty good job.

Comments about Visible Dust Zeeion Blower Sensor Cleaner:

This is a great product. While it isn't cheap, it does a very good job of removing the dreaded sensor dust. There are videos on VisibleDust's web site that demonstrate the proper use.

Comments about Visible Dust Zeeion Blower Sensor Cleaner:

I never liked the thought of blowing dust unto my cameras sensor with regular bulb blowers. The filtering with this product reduces the anxiety of propelling dust on my sensor.

Comments about Visible Dust Zeeion Blower Sensor Cleaner:

As far as I can see it has cleaned better than anything else I have used. I have only had it a little over a week but it really works.

Comments about Visible Dust Zeeion Blower Sensor Cleaner:

Have used several other well know blowers but, had a problem keeping the blown air clean. The Zeeion's excellent filter system elimenates that problem with ease.
I highly recommend it for removing dust particles from your DSLR sensor without the fear of adding more.
