I am Wanderer001 and this is my review of the cam kicks pro cleaning kit with microfiber cleaning
cloths this kit was graciously provided to me by eko fused I will link to their Amazon Web
Store in the description area below really most lens cleaning kits are designed for digital slrs
which sadly I don't have yet because they're expensive and I really want one but I don't
have one just yet but the general principle behind a lot of the tools that you would get to clean a
digital SLR can work with cleaning other devices of regular point-and-shoot cameras cellphones in
some cases glasses if you wear them or you get something like this which is what I used to film
on which is a technically a digital point troop which mimics a lot of the functionality of the
digital SLRs for a lot less or you also have the camcorder the HFR sorry the vixia hf r 400
which I'm currently filming on so a lot of these tools can be utilized not just with digital SLRs
most of the kits are fairly standard so with this particular kit what you get is your empty squirt
bottle which you fill with a cleaning solution or water whatever it is that you prefer to use
when cleaning your cameras lenses or what have you you get an assortment of microfiber cloths
in this case with this particular set you get 15.5 x 3 inch cam kicks branded microfiber cloth
which as you can see the other ones are still in the package I kind of shoved them back in
there and make it a little easier to distinguish them and see them but this one I've kept with me
and actually clean my glasses off with quite a bit as well as some of these I use to well not
some of them I use these to clean off the lenses for my camera which you saw and the camera you're
currently looking at put this guy side you get four of a 7 x 6 size 2 black 2 i'll say gray
to off-white I kind of like the the different colorations you get with the microfiber because
I tend to use darker color for like starting let's say there's some fingerprints on the lens i really
want to clean those off so there's going to be like heavy grease things like that I use these
darker ones so that I know those are the ones that have the most crud on them and then I'll
come back and I'll use these lighter ones after use the black ones to kind of clean off some of
the finite dust or particles that still might remain and we'll throw those aside now you get
your standard air blower what this is primarily designed for is I'll bring this guy over here and
take that off with a digital SLR there would be a sensor inside of there so you would take this and
OOP blow the dust off the sensor what you can do is as I'm doing is just blow the dust off of the
lens in the lens I do have a barrel for this particular camera which makes it difficult to
get in there with the microfiber cloth so you can just use this stick this in the barrel and blow on
the dust on the barrel likewise if I came up here kind of shot some air at the lens there this is
fairly standard you get your assortment of brushes here you can see a slightly wider brush quality of
the brush pretty good it's soft I haven't seen it more any of my lenses yet not saying that it
will but you know I've used this for probably a month and a half roughly because you don't have
to clean my lenses every day but so far I haven't noticed any scratches the handle is plastic which
makes it lighter but you can see there's a little deformation they're not terrible you can just kind
of sand that down if you want here we have a nifty tool to tools and one you have a retractable lens
brush again you have another brush but it's wider this one is a finer detail brush and you have two
stages at which you can utilize it and obviously you colorization so you know that you've reached
the end of how far you can bring it out my one complaint with this I wish there was a cap for
the top of this only because even though it does see if I can bring that into focus come on macro
it does sit in there rather deeply I have kind of taken it out of my pocket and touched the
top there and that kind of gets grease onto the brush itself which kind of defeats the purpose of
using it to brush dust off if I have to use it to brush dust off and then since it's the finer brush
it's kind of getting into the more hard-to-reach places I would then have to come around and use
this guy here which is the other tool which this is designed not to get dust off but let's say you
have again those grease or fingerprint marks that are kind of tricky and don't want to come off and
hard to reach and you can't get to them with one of the microfiber cloths you use this guy here to
scrub it out now this side does come with a cap which I just wish this side had so I wouldn't get
grease on this not terrible I've seen some light streaking the more that I've used it only because
every time yes there is a clip on it to keep it in you know a breast pocket or pocket keep it
clipped to the side of your pocket but generally it's either in my pocket or in a book bag it
did come with a plastic case not really that's what it came in it is a ziplock bag but I don't
particularly like carrying the stuff around in it so really small complaint it is your standard
lens cleaning kit you do have all of these options it does come with all of this really what it lacks
as compared to some of the other lens cleaning kits some kits have less microfiber generally
forgot one brush generally you're going to have a blower and a bottle that you can put a cleaning
substances and at least one brush this one you have two different size brushes some of the more
expensive kits come with a micro fat magnifying glass so that you can actually get down and see
into the sensor again I don't have a digital SLR don't really see the need for that plus
it adds quite a bit to the price of the kit now talking about price the price for the cam kicks
kit that's a mouthful is only ten dollars there are a few out there that are a little cheaper
but then you lose one of the brushes or a couple of the microfiber cloths really it for the kit
itself the five by five I've started the 5.5 x three and two of the seven by sixes is generally
what I keep with it the other ones I keep with other cameras or my glasses but for what you
get for ten dollars it's not bad and if you're looking for a cleaning kit to use for whatever
your SLR your camcorder your digital point and shoot hey even your cell phone smartphones have
that screen so you can wipe them off I know I do that all the time I hate fingerprints it's a good
kit for the money so if you're considering a kit I would recommend this one that actually served
me pretty well and I will be continuing to use it in the future I have been Wanderer001 thanks
