Altura Photo Professional Cleaning Kit for DSLR Cameras and Sensitive Electronics Bundle with Refillable Spray Bottle

I like my DSLR camera and/or lenses to be super clean. I don't want a speck of dust inside the camera body or the lenses. I am very careful when changing lenses to minimize any chance of dust accumulation. Still, there are times I find a tiny fabric piece or some other speck of dust on the mirror or back of lens. I've been cleaning my lenses with microfiber and pure soft cotton cloth with very good results. However, getting rid of any finger prints is like a nightmare. I want them to completely free of any dust / oil. This is where this kit comes in very handy. The kit supplies brushes, blower and lens tissue paper which are excellent for this purpose. Now, I blow first with blower, use brush to loosen any dust, blow it out again and use spray solution on microfiber cloth, and wipe them down. As a last measure, I use the lens tissue paper with a drop of liquid and wipe them clean. After this process, there is not a single streak, film or residue. If you think this is over the top, try shooting even blue sky (without clouds) wide-open with a 50mm f/1.4 and bring it into Lightroom, Develop > Touch-Up tool > Visualize spots. This will show you if there is dust on Lens and/or sensor. All my lenses I thought were clean ended up having spots in different places that were revealed through this process. FYI, If the spot is in exact same place even different lenses, sensor needs cleaning. In short, this kit is really great. I am quite happy with the purchase.

I was looking around all over for a camera cleaning kit for a bit and I ended up choosing this one because it had everything I needed for the lowest cost. Nothing else came close to this for everything your getting at this price. Everything else I had looked at and considered was at least 2-3 times more expensive. Since it was priced so low compared to other cleaning kits, I was quite skeptical of the quality. The air blower from the picture I thought looked like it was pretty low quality, but surprisingly was made of pretty thick high-quality plastic. The special lens pen cleaning system is pretty handy. It's double-sided soft pad cleaned my new lens very well and did not leave any minor scratches on the special coating, just like it says. The non-horse hair brush seems like just your average typical brush. You might be able to find a better quality make-up brush to use instead without breaking the bank. The spray bottle is a nice size to keep in your camera bag or pocket. And last but not least is the MagicFiber MicroFiber cleaning cloths. I have never seen a better quality micro fiber cloth sold in store near where I am, but there aren't many stores around here that specialize in selling camera accessories anymore either. Plus you get four to boot! I'm pretty sure there are much higher-quality cleaning kits around as well, but nothing comes close to the quality/price. Also one last thing that I really like was the free shipping and inside the package was a note from the seller saying that if all of our products are not of the highest-quality and if you are anyway not pleased by the product they would pay for the return shipping no questions asked. Also for the record I am just an amateur photographer who takes it as a hobby and for enjoyment.

I bought this as a spare cleaning kit because of it's low price. The carbon pen is good, similar to Lenspen. Does a good job. I wouldn't use either of the brushes (or any brush) on the glass part of the lens, since brushes are too rough, but for cleaning of dust on the metal/plastic parts they can do a good job. Some hairs come off both brushes. The "magic fiber" cloths are a joke to me - why would you want to if you use it on your lens, what you'll be doing is rub the dirt/dust on your lens and scratch up the lens's coatings over time. That's a big no-no to me. Maybe useful if you have a cheap camera you don't care about or to clean glasses. The cloth that comes attached to the little baggy actually had black dye on it from the bag - definitely not rubbing that on an expensive lens. Not only will I be rubbing the dust into the lens while using it, but also coating my lens with some unstable dye. Put that one in a drawer for using on something non-optical. The air blower works OK, it is on the smaller side, so has weaker air stream than say a Giottos blower I own, but will work. It also is slow to restore its shape after being squeezed, probably because of the rubber used. While the Giottos, I own is instantaneous, this one takes 1-2 secs after each squeeze. This doesn't prevent it from working, but is something that makes your cleaning slower. OK for a spare though. The paper sheets, seem to be OK. I haven't used them enough to have an opinion, but at first glance they look similar to other paper sheets I have used for a while and like. Not much to say about the bottle - it squirts when you push on it like it's supposed to. Can't go wrong there. Overall 4 starts because of the low price. I can recommend it if you will use this kit for cleaning cheaper lenses, or just want it as a spare. If you want something to clean $500+ lenses there are better options for some of the items.

Fast shipping!! Great Product Exactly As Described!! High Quality!! This kit give you everything you need to clean your camera. This is defiantly worth the money. The cleaning pen alone for sells for $7! The air blower work perfectly and blows out a very nice amount of air for removing dust and debris from the camera and lens. The Cleaning brush is a nice size however I have noticed that some of the bristles tend to fall off from time to time, which isn't that big of a deal because the air blower is included. The Spray Bottle is a nice size as well and is very useful to hold your cleaning fluid and when sprayed it is a fine mist not a sharp stream. They also give you four microfiber cleaning cloths. They are very soft and great for removing streaks from your lens, and does not cause any scratches to your lens. The pen is also very handy, its small and the brush is soft and retractable, the bristles seem to be better attached and do not fall out like the other brush that is included, it also has a double sided soft pad (one triangle-tip and one larger round disk)to remove fingerprints and more serious dirt but is still very soft and does not damage your lens. All in all I am very please with this kit and would recommend it to anyone who wants a nice cleaning kit for their camera. Also the shipping was very fast (2 days) from order date.

Received quickly as described, and everything in the Cleaning Set is of good quality. I especially like the MagicFiber cleaning cloth which is attached to and folds neatly into its own bag, approximately 2.5" X 1.5". The cloth itself opens to approximately 5.5" X 7" and is securely attached to the bag at one corner so that it does not separate from the bag; there is a handy clip for easy attachment of the unit to camera strap, belt loop or case, so this unit is very portable and accessible when needed, won't get lost, and the cloth doesn't get dirty in the bag. The two brushes included in the set are somewhat different, with the plastic-encased, retractable brush having bristles that are softer, shorter and more densely packed; there is a covered end opposite the retractable brush end with a pressure fitted cap which when pulled off, reveals a velvet-soft pad that works well for removing fingerprints from a lens surface. The cap fits so well and is integrated in design such that you might not see it is there. The air blower is of good quality, well made, and blows a very adequate amount of air by only depressing the bulb half way. Each object within the set arrives contained in its own cellophane-type wrapping with an easily separable self-adhesive closure, assembled together in one large cellophane-type bag that is not re-closeable. These protective bags insure that the objects arrive unmarred, but are not designed to be reusable for any substantial length of time. This cleaning set provided the essentials for safe, effective lens care without the extras available elsewhere at greater cost, which I wasn't sure that I would use.

I wanted to get a cleaning kit for my new camera and based on the reviews, I went with this one. I'm glad I did! I was really surprised at the quality of the items, especially considering the price. You can easily spend that much just getting one or two of the items elsewhere. I wasn't expecting the little blower bulb to be of much use, but I've actually used that more than anything else in the kit, except for the cloths. This kit was obviously put together with care. We were so impressed by this kit and the vendor's service, that we immediately ordered more stuff from them! (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CMUZAQK/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 That kit is awesome!) A couple comments on some of the negative reviews, which I hope will help others who are considering purchasing this kit: 1. Scratches from the paper wipes or micro clothes: Uh, NO. Paper and cloth do not scratch. If this has happened to you, it's because you did not clear off the debris before wiping. The motion of dragging grit across the glass is what scratches a lens. Wipes/clothes are ONLY for removing moisture or smears/smudges of oil (like from your fingertips). If there is any question that there might be debris of any kind on the lens, use the blower and/or brush FIRST. And make sure you keep your wipes and clothes clean and free of grit. That should probably go without saying, right? 2. Empty spray bottle - It says right in the order area that you can choose an empty bottle for using your own cleaner, or get a full bottle of Purosol. It's even in the item description and photo. Pay attention to what you're ordering. Is this a "professional" kit? I have no idea. I do think it's excellent. I recommend this kit to anyone who cares about taking care of their camera lenses, whether they're a beginner or experienced amateur photographer. I wouldn't presume to tell a pro what to buy. ;-)

I use filters on my camera lenses. It's debatable whether or not I should be using them from a professional standpoint, however, I am not a professional so I use them and I want to keep them as clean as possible. So far I have used the brushes, the blower, one of the wipes, and a the spray bottle. They have all been decent to good. I found that the retractable brush has loose bristles and every so often would leave one on my lens. It isn't a big deal since it is easy enough to remove with the blower but it gives it a cheaper feel. The other brush is very soft and good at removing the dust that the blower can't. The spray bottle is fine for what it is but you get what you pay for here. It is functional despte the head piece being slightly crooked so I won't dock a point there. The cloths have worked well although like another reviewer mentioned, one of them had a dark stain on it which keeps me from using it on my lens filter. While I haven't tested out the tissue, I still feel the set was just good enough to not be bad. I didn't own a blower or a good brush and I really like them. The blower does a great job of cleaning the lens, the filter, as well as the sensor. It seems durable enough to hold up for a while as well as the standard brush and honestly that's why I bought the set to begin with. Overall, it's not a bad set for around the $8 range which I bought it at. It is functional and I've gotten my lens, filter, and sensor very clean just by using the blower, the brush, and the wipes. For my nonprofessional use it met my expectations. Do you want this cleaning set? That depends on your expectations. If you're a professional, I imagine you aren't even looking at an $8 cleaning set for your thousands of dollars in camera equipment. If you're like me and have a decent camera and lenses and want a few things to maintain them, then you could do worse than this set. For what I got, what I paid, and what I made use of, I can recommend this set as long as you understand what you are getting.

I'll run through all of the items - 1. Air Blower The air blower is awesome, it produces enough air to effectively remove dust/fibers from the lens, but it isn't gigantic so keeping it in my travel bag with my DSLR isn't a problem. Using it instead of a cloth for minor stuff prevents the lens from getting scratched, which makes it invaluable. 2. Lens Pen The lens pen has two sides, an extendable brush and a soft pad. The extendable brush is nice, it retracts to keep it clean and can get things off the blower cant. The soft pad is okay, I tried using it to clean a small fingerprint/smudge off of my nikkor zoom lens, but it didn't do much so I eneded up just using a microfiber cloth... I felt like if I continued using it it would start scratching. 3. Small Spray Bottle I thought it had solution in it, but that was my fault for not reading more carefully. However, it is nice to have if you have a bottle of lens cleaning solution thats large and you would prefer something smaller for your camera bag. Overall, not much to say about it except it comes with the set. 4. Magic Fiber Lens Cloths There are 4 cloths included in the set. They are really soft and clean extremely well. When I had a smudge on my nikkor, I used the soft pad but it didn't work, so I breathed on it to dampen the spot (NEVER try and clean a lens dry) and the cloth took it off in no time. The only thing I don't like is that the cloth that comes in the tiny travel bag is attached, and the velvet/whatever material inside left black fuzzies all over it. However, cleaning them off wouldn't be a big deal. 5. Brush There is another brush included which I haven't used yet, but it seems like it's good quality and would do a fine job just like the brush in the lens pen kit. Overall, I loved the kit and I'm happy I can take care of my lenses now because clean lenses are one of the best ways to keep your photos sharp and beautiful.

This kit sufficed my requirement. The blower is really strong enough to remove dust particles from even inside the mirror of my DSLR. I am extremely happy with this kit.

I needed a lens cleaning kit for my Canon cameras, so when I spotted this kid it was a great deal for the price. Having the means to keep your lenses clean of dust is almost a full time job when your taking pictures of nature. There is nothing worse than having a great shot that is ruined by a couple of dust noise showing up on that shot. I'd recommend this kit as it includes a number of Magic Fiber cloths and cleaning equipment. I'd recommend this kit for everyone how doesn't want dust noise in their pictures.

Una estafa, del kit sólo recibí el cleaning tissue paper, Es la primera vez que algo me llega incompleto, en resumen para mí fueron $204 por 50 hojas de papel de 10x15cm. Fatal!

Fast delivery! Love the item. Didn’t come with any liquid. The cleaning tools included will definitely tidy up your camera from greases and dust. The pen brush is a nice tool to clean the lens! They included enough microfiber cloths too.

I am not a profesional photographer, but I have basic knowledge and this kit was perfect for me, it has everything that I was looking for to keep my lenses clean, the only think that I would like is that the container had the liquid to clean the lense, is specify on the product that is an empty container, but I would like to have the liquid or at least directions on what to use, also it would be better if the kit came with instruction on how to clean the lenses using this products. So overall, even I haven't use this much, I really like this product
