Will this work on Sony A77II and A99II? Is there a video besides one on this page that shows how to install on lens mount?
Asked by: George
I have tried it. The instructions say there should be a tight fit but it just sets on top of mount not in the mount and when mirror is up it interferes. I've checked YouTube for specific videos using the device specifically on the Sony A77M2 and 99M2 and there are none.

Would this work for a S35 PL-Mount camera, like an Alexa Mini?
Asked by: Andrew
The Alexa Mini is more similar to a mirrorless camera rather than a DSLR so the Carson SM-99 version would be recommended instead. Please take a look at the following link: https://bhpho.to/3lHiAk7

Since this isn't suppose to work with a mirrorless camera, if I use an extension tube between this and the camera, would that allow it to work properly?
Asked by: Frederick
I purchased this item to assist in cleaning my DSLR sensor however it was not worth it. It is just one more of those items you don't need in photography. I used it once and it now in my box of items that was advertised as must have. My advise is spend your money on cleaning materials and a magnifying glass. I'm am certain you have a good light source for inspecting your sensor. I hope this was helpful.
