Product Description

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 in.vacuum in. 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

Well I found a review online regarding this and it seemed to be a cheaper but not inferior version to an butterfly or similar sensor brush, but one problem, the packaging it comes in is not dust proof and it seems the makers know this and give you a pec pad to clean the brush for first use, the worry is that even with the cap it can get dirty and need cleaning prior to use meaning you will need to keep some pec pads around or get a good zip lock bag for it.

Well I will say it does work but only if your careful to first clean it and then keep it clean. it gets 4 stars as it is reusable and works on loose dust that can blow off but ends up just falling back ( or floating back in as it happens ). You will still need a wet clean to get the oil or that stuff that just wants to stick on.

I'm into digital photography, and I've sent my camera in to have the sensor cleaned. That's very expensive, and it didn't seem like "rocket science." I took the plunge and got a sensor scope, this brush, the lens pen for sensors, and some soution and swabs (that's a whole review in itself). This brush works well. And amazingly it does what they claim--static free and all. Be carefull when using it. Don't let it touch anything in the camera that may have lubrication on it. You just destroyed the brush. If you've thought about cleaning you're own sensor, try it. It's not that hard.
