Speckgrabber Pro

£7.50/$7 www.cameraclean.co.uk

often the only dirt that ever reaches your sensor is a few specks of dust, making a full-on wet clean overkill. For a quick touch-up, the Speckgrabber is ideal. This is simply a plastic stick with a small 2mm-square soft pad on the end. It works like the Dust-aid Platinum, but instead of pressing the pad against a large portion of the sensor, you dab precisely on each particle to remove it. Two cleaning wipes are included so you can ensure the grabber is spotless before use, although Kinetronics maintains it can be cleaned with soap and water.

We weren’t expecting much for a device so basic and cheap, but the Speckgrabber actually works. Particles stick effectively to the cleaning tip, and it doesn’t leave any residue on the sensor.

The Speckgrabber provides much better dust removal than a similarly-priced blower, just don’t expect it to deal with more stubborn grime and stains.
