If you’re fed up with small traces of sensor dirt appearing in your images, and bored with retouching them in software, it’s a sign your sensor is due for a clean.

While there are many different sensor-cleaning devices on the market, Green Clean’s Mini Vacuum system is slightly different as it lifts the finest dust and dirt particles from your sensor by a method of suction. Compatible with Ken Air or Green Clean compressed air aerosols, the Mini Vac creates its vacuum via a flexible tube as the pressure valve is depressed, with any dust or dirt being fired into a filter bottle, which can then be emptied.
Removing the lens from our D-SLR and raising the mirror, we hovered the tube over individual dust particles on the sensor’s surface. Ensuring the tube didn’t touch the sensor and floated a millimetre above it, we gave a short, sharp blast on the pressure valve. Inspecting the sensor afterwards revealed a dust-free, pristine surface. Job complete. And with the mirror returned to its usual position we also extracted some dust particles from the mirror’s surface.
If your sensor needs a clean, we’d highly recommend adding the Mini Vac V3000 to your accessories cupboard and at £21, it won’t make a huge dent in your bank balance, either.
