Like many new photographers, I decided to clean my camera without knowing what I was doing and introduced a ton of dust and particulates. I knew what I introduced included silica particles which are capable of scratching glass, and I needed to remove those without scraping. I ordered these to remove the particles and it did an excellent job! Not a single mark on my camera's sensor and I got the particles off.If you're trying to remove to remove stuck particulates.. STOP! Do not use the sensor brush first!!! First use your blower, then use this to pick up the particulates, else you risk scraping the sensor!Expensive but I will definitely be buying again. Went through 4 of them and it was worth it!

My camera sensor had a particle that would not yield to a blower, a "dust it Platinum stick", AND a wet swab wiping. So, I got these gel sticks. After practicing on some lens glass, I found the stick leaves no residue (well, that may be impossible, but you get the idea, no residue to worry about). I tried dabbing the stick on the particle, two dabbings removed the stubborn particle. I leave others to speculate as to why this stick worked and the "dust it Platinum" did not. What a relief!

These work great for removing dust and particles from watch movements and dials. Easy clean up with water and ready for many reuses.

I have a Sony A7RIV and I'm not afraid to change lenses in the mountains or beach. This means my sensor collects dust/debris. I like to use this first to remove the debris I can easily see using a magnifying glass. I hold the magnifying glass in my left hand and the gel stick in my right and lightly tap on the dust and it comes off. I then only need one wet sensor swab to finish cleaning the sensor. If you change lenses outside in all conditions then I think this is a good product. For what its worth blowers only blow dust around inside your camera that eventually lands back on your sensor.

I got this to clean the sensor of my mirrorless camera. I have had the camera over two years and was noticing significant spots.What I found is these sticks are ok for removing large spots you can see with just my eyes or reading glasses. However, I've found that most spots on sensors are so small that it just won't be possible to remove them, because they are too small to be seen. For these a wet sensor swab is still the best remedy.Here is my workflow:First, be careful cleaning your camera's sensor. Particularly with mirrorless cameras that have in-body stabilization, you can damage that mechanism causing a costly repair.Second, hold the camera with the sensor facing down if possible. You don't want to put more dust into the sensor by holding it facing up.1. Take a reference photo of an out-of-focus white area, at a high f/stop like f/22. Blow it up on your computer monitor. Dust spots will appear as grey circles.2. Blow off the sensor with a blower specifically designed for camera sensor cleaning.3. Repeat step 1. If the sensor is still dirty, proceed to the next step.4. Blow the sensor on a clean, soft brush designed for sensors. Blowing charges the brush with static, and specks of dust will transfer from the sensor to the brush. Brush off the sensor.5. Repeat step 1. If the sensor is still dirty, proceed to the next step.6. If there are spots you can see with reading glasses or just your eyes, use these gel sticks to remove them.7. Repeat step 1. If the sensor is still dirty, proceed to the next step.8. If you are comfortable wet-cleaning the sensor, follow the instructions in the kit you bought to wet clean. You may have to do this two or more times, with reference photos between, before all of the spots are gone.In the end, these gel sticks are one tool of several you should have for keeping your camera sensor clean. They won't work all by themselves, but they can be helpful.

If you have a DSLR then you have to clean the sensor and lenses-no way out of that. These work very well but they are a bit overpriced for what you get. However, they are handy and small so that is a plus. In a nutshell, it all depends on your needs and budget. If you are on the go and want to travel as lightly as possible, then check these out. They are nice to have on hand because dust can crop up anytime and can ruin your photos and equipment.
