Comments about Visible Dust Visible Dust Arctic Butterfly 724 Travel Kit for Full Size 1.0x DSLR Cameras:

The arctic butterfly worked really well on my 5D Mark 2. I did f/22 test shots before and after and I would estimate that 95% of the dust was removed. Much much better than a rocket blower/bulb, which I also use. I have not tried any of the swabs or liquid that came with the kit. One downside is that the spinning head of the arctic butterfly actually spun off as I was "charging" it up before use. I was able to push it back on to the holder although it spun off a few more times. The problem with spinning off is that it can land anywhere and pick up dust or worse. I think what might be going on is that if you don't remove the plastic cover for the brush in the proper manner, the cover pulls on the brush when you pull the cover off, then the brush is loose from the handle.

Overall, I think its a great product but I will need to be careful that the brush is seated well on the handle.

I had been using air from a "rocket blower" on my 5d Mark II, and sometimes it would move or remove the most bothersome dust particles. One swipe of the arctic butterfly was MUCH MUCH more effective! There were still a few specks around the edge where I missed, but on f22 test shots, the overall outcome was WAY BETTER with arctic butterfly (just one swipe). I have not used the swabs or fluid yet, as I don't feel a great need at this point. I change lenses fairly often, and I took the camera to the Burning Man festival in Nevada this year (DUST!), so sensor dust becomes and issue.
