Cleans wallet, not sensors
This thing is a waste of money. Frankly it just doesn't work as advertised. The brush is far too large for cleaning sensors and does not pick up and hold dust as it is supposed to.

works great
i bought the brush to clean off the dust i was noticing in my photos. this in conjunction with the sensor swab worked magic. i'm pretty sure the brush by itself would've been enough to stick most of the dust away. too bad it's a bit expensive.

Well worth the time it saves.
The Anti-Static feature is the best part of this brush. My camera's Dust Removal system actually works fine, when static electricity isn't hindering it. I had already cleaned my sensor with chemicals, the next time I used this brush by itself and it stayed clean longer (no static electricity attracting the dust). Eventually I needed to do both but it was easier and took a lot less time than chemicals alone, (your time is worth money) it's the cleanest it's ever been and my camera's dust removal system keeps it that way longer. P. S. Most chemicles can't be taken on a plain, this is a great alternative in any country.

How simple!
Never had to clean my sensor before after years of shooting with a Nikon D 100 and now a D 200, felt a little uncomfortable however it was very easy and the dustproblem was solved in two strokes. What a relief and what a product!!!

Effective brush
Used in concert with wet swabs it does a very good job of cleaning the sensor.

Not quite as good as advertised
Doesn't clean dust from sensor as well as advertised, But I still use for light cleaning before useing sensor swabs.

Does the job for me.
It was able to clean all signs of dust from my sensor after a couple swabs. It's maybe the safest "contact" sensor cleaning method, but it still scares me. bristles retract into the wand, and comes with a cap, so it should stay clean and in good shape as long as it's not misused. Don't start touching the bristles! Actually with this product you don't swab, you just gently press the bristles against the sensor and let them fan out. then once the sensor is covered, just pull straight back. anyway, works for me, no sensor damage, and isn't as expensive as most other methods.

About Photographic Solutions Brushoff Sensor Cleaning Br
BRUSHOFF, by Photographic Solutions, Inc., is unlike any other sensor brush on the market. Although the brush head is remarkably soft, the brush core is entirely electronically conductive, through an ingeniously designed grounding plug.
BRUSHOFF is conductive because the dust and lint that attaches to the sensor or lens surface is attached there electronically [dust has a negative charge and the sensor/ lens a positive one]. Breaking that electronic bond is the only way to both remove the debris and discharge the sensor or lens surface so new particles are not again immediately attracted to it. A mere artist brush cannot clean all of the dust, nor can it prevent dust accumulation, even immediately after its use.
BRUSHOFF's unique blend of extremely fine fibers, softer than a lady's blush brush, provides not only a conductive path, but includes fibers with characteristics that make the debris want to mechanically cling to them. The debris is removed from the camera with the brush.
BRUSHOFF utilizes an especially designed microscopically fine special filament. This fiber acts as the "vacuum" to pick up negatively charged dust from the positively charged sensor.
Another feature found only on BRUSHOFF is the grounding plug which works because it provides a path to ground for the charges on both the debris and the sensor. While normally a human can briefly serve as a ground for small charges, in fact, if the human is ungrounded, the body electr onically acts like a capacitor, not a ground. The human body can also be a lightening bolt to the sensor if it has a static charge. Just walking across the carpet on a dry day, a person can generate a 30,000v charge [that is what causes the spark between your finger and the doorknob]. The grounding plug insures that, regardless of any charges around it, the brush is grounded and electronically neutral. The plastic handle itself is a non-conductor which isolates the human from the brush. This allows the brush to be used in the field, away from any grounding source until one can locate a ground and discharge the BRUSHOFF.
Cleaning the BRUSHOFF is also quite simple. Use a clean PEC*PAD to wipe the bristles and dispose of the PAD. A one sheet package is provided with each BRUSHOFF
