Delkin SensorScope Travel Kit

£80/ $90

Delkin’s kit is equipped to remove loose particles and more stubborn contaminants. The SensorBulb blower puffs dust away, albeit in the same uncontrolled manner as any blower, meaning dust can just be blown around the sensor, not necessarily off it.

Should this happen, you can always switch to the included cleaning swabs and solution. You get 15 double-ended wands and a decent supply of streakfree fluid, but the results are mixed. The wands have a tendency to simply move some particles across the sensor, rather than picking them up.

An LED loupe is included and shines brightly into the chamber, but we found the sensor surface to be slightly out of focus, and there’s no focus adjustment. It doesn’t have a cut-out, either, so you can’t clean the sensor with the loupe in place. A lens cloth and compact travel bag complete the kit.

Pros Contains wet and dry cleaning tools, plus a loupe

Cons None work particularly well, and the kit isn’t cheap

We say Stacks up well on paper, but misses the mark in practice
