Reddit mentions of VSGO DDR24 DSLR or SLR Camera Full-Frame Sensor Cleaning Kit (12 X Full Frame Sensor Cleaning Swabs + 15ml Sensor Cleaner)

or use these and do it yourself. the sensor is not actually exposed, its got a layer of protection so its really not as scary to clean it as some people make it out to be.

So essentially they took your money, said fuck this guy I'm not doing it. Sounds like something companies would do.

I recall reading a thread here and it was unanimous by a bunch of redditors that cleaning the sensor is a highly overrated process and isn't as dangerous as some make it seem, and that it seems that way just for repair centers to hit you with a huge bill. It's up to your discretion as to whether or not you want to pay $3000, but that seems like a scam to me. [These guys have different sized kits based on the sensor] (https://www.amazon.ca/VSGO-DDR-24-Full-Frame-Cleaning-Accessories/dp/B00K8MTQGY/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504184989&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=sdlr+cleaning) maybe you can look into it.

Have you tried using [an air blower?] (https://www.amazon.ca/Giottos-AA1900-Rocket-Blaster-Large/dp/B00017LSPI/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1504185077&sr=8-6&keywords=camera+air+blower) it usually gets the job done for me.

I use a Sony A7R3, so my sensor size is different, but here's what I use:

Works amazingly well, I simply dab drops onto the swab on both sides, swipe back and forth top right-top left and bottom left-bottom right delicately a few times, and done. Make sure you pick the right size sensor cleaning kit for your camera. To confirm no specks, just up the f aperture to something like f/22, while aiming at something flat, like a white sheet of printer paper. Any specks, just reuse the swab again.

This the the video guide I used for it:

I got these cleaning swabs that come with included solution: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K8MTQGY

Just dampen the swab, don't soak it.

Just go ahead and clean it yourself. The D610 still releases oil even though Nikon said they resolved the issue.

[Here's what I use an FX cameras. The dx one is what I use for my crop sensor.] (https://www.amazon.com/VSGO-Digital-Camera-DDR-24-Cleaner/dp/B00K8MTQGY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1465776520&sr=8-2&keywords=sensor+cleaning+kit) One drop is of the solution is usually enough for the entire sensor. You just lock the shutter up from the camera menu. It's very simple to do. It's common to have dust/oil on your sensor periodically.

I definitely would not touch the sensor with the microfiber cloth.

There are some sensor cleaning kits available, like this one but personally I wouldn't and probably will never clean my camera's sensor by myself.

The sensor is the most expensive and fragile part of your camera. If you spent that much money on a DSLR, imo it's definitely worth it to pay a little extra to have it done by a professional. This can either be someone at your local camera store or you could also directly get in contact with the manufacturer.

Edit: cambie el link de APS-C, no venía con el liquido, que puede ser importante (una vez lo tuve que usar con una mancha mañosa).

I was able to get decent results with this kit, if you're brave enough to try cleaning it yourself. :)

Get a sensor cleaning kit like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K8MTQGY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Hy3kDbAWD50NC

you can bring it to a camera store and have the sensor professionally cleaned

or, you can buy some sensor cleaner and do it yourself. I use this kit on my a7ii and a7rii before each major event without problems https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K8MTQGY/

Would this be fine I have to have it before Wednesday. The sensor on my 6D is quite dirty, an air blower wouldn't clean it.

You want to buy something like the product below. Many wedding photographers use this each time before they shoot to ensure their sensor is clean as well. I've used it also after a vacation and a bunch of my photos had 20ish spots on them all. I don't make these, but just really great product. Make sure to get a cleaner size that matches your sensor.

Do it yourself? for lens front and back elements I like Lens Clense or there are others. I definitely would not bring glass to a store (no real reason and they will probably just point you to a cleaner).

If you're just doing the outside any microfiber cloth, some q tips and toothpicks will do. For your sensor, one of these for crop or these for FF both work. I've never damaged anything. OR if you really want someone to do it, I'd ask around Samy's or Adolph Glasser.
