VisibleDust Mini Quasar Overview

Visible Dust's Mini Quasar 7x Sensor Loupe Sensor Inspection Device is a high-quality pocket version of the Sensor Loupe technology used to reduce the damage to your digital camera sensor by excessive cleaning. This reduces costs associated with keeping your sensor clean. The Mini Quasar is made of the highest quality optical glass with fluorine coated surface for the sharpest image possible.

The Mini Quasar is equipped with 4 super bright LED lights positioned at angles to identify the smallest object on the sensor surface (usually impossible to see otherwise). Regular LED light penetrates different layers of filters to produce useless checkered-shape visual images of various filter depths without focusing on sensor surface itself. The Mini Quasar can eliminate this problem.

The Mini Quasar requires two (2) CR2032 lithium batteries (included), and comes with a soft, coated foam black box to protect the device.

VisibleDust Mini Quasar Reviews

Not worth it.

Don't buy this product if you have a Sony a7ii, like I do. To start with, the lights don't seem to be bright enough to really see what's happening. But more importantly, with this particular camera, you can't get the Loupe close enough to the camera sensor to focus correctly and actually see the dust...which is the purpose after all.

Works great -- packaging is goofy

This really helped me clean the sensor.  Im not sure how much benefit Id get from a higher end model.  Importantly, its small enough that I can take it with me when I travel.  That said, Ill carry it in something different than the case it ships in.  While I like the idea of a rigid case with a foam inset, the case they use is way to big to be useful for travel -- you can see this from the illustration.

See any errors on this page?

question

Does it work with mirrorless camera sensors? Most of these magnifiers are designed for DSLRs.

I use it with a Leica M type view finder and works well
