With the Arctic Butterfly SL700, you can expect the same quality you find in the more expensive models. Despite a slower brush spin speed, the SL700 spins fast enough to generate enough static to free your sensor of dust. Its small size fits into the camera body perfectly leaving enough space for you to see what you’re doing. Just what you need for such a delicate job.
In the Arctic Butterfly SL700 kit you get an entry level DSLR sensor cleaning tool that can easily fit into your pocket or camera bag, a bristle cap and solid carry case. The SL700 doesn’t offer brush detachability like some of the other Arctic Butterfly brushes, but this isn’t a problem if you only have one or two small DSLRs with similar sized sensors.
Although in-camera sensor cleaning has improved over the last few years it’s still not a failsafe solution – you sometimes need to clean the sensor yourself. Besides, many day-to-day cameras don't offer automatic in-camera cleaning at all. Sensor dust is something we all have to live with – and an Arctic Butterfly sensor brush is a useful ally.
At around £44 this entry level DSLR sensor brush is a bargain compared to some of the other sensor cleaning options available.

Having a 5D I seem to get all the dust going, but the Arctic Butterfly used after each shoot keeps it at bay and I have only needed swabs once since I got it. Excelent bit of kit

It's a joy to use, very easy, very safe and does it's job perfectly. I had some spots and dust on the low pass filter, and I was a bit worried to clean it by myself. Then I saw the featured video and the next day I ordered it via Internet. I would recommend it to anyone.
