Izzy again at Digital Goja showrooms.
Cleaning kits, very important, you need to
keep your equipment clean for your best
imaging. Whether it's video or stills you
want to make sure that you get a kit
that works for your equipment and Altura
Photo is the best in the business when
it comes to cleaning kits. They literally
have any kit for any type of cleaning
situation. They even now carry the ones
to be able to clean the sensors, they
have the full frame and they have the
APS-C sized sensor cleaning kit. Notice
that some of them even come with an
Alter Photo carrying case so you can
take everything with you everywhere you
go.
Honestly, if you keep your equipment
clean you'll notice a big difference in
the image quality and we'll go over the
different kids to show you the different
versions, what they come with and what
they will do for your equipment whether
it's photographic video or even
electronics. As always, if this video

visit Digital Goja showrooms.
I'm going to go over the different tools
that come with the various Altura
Photo cleaning kits and how they're
going to help you out in maintaining
your camera or whatever imaging unit you
use to be able to work properly for many
years to come. We have the smaller 7 x 6
version and then we have the big brother,
the 16 x 16. They're available in the
gray or silver, and the black. Now, I love
the smaller one, pocketable, easy to carry
with you. Notice how this has a special
sawtooth pattern that will not fray and
it also is reusable and long-lasting.
This reduces use of paper towel and
tissue so it's eco-friendly has no dyes
or chemicals. You can use it on all your
popular imaging equipment, so you can use
it on your multi-coated lenses, you can
use it on your LCD screens. It works even
on electronics, so you can use it on
standard tablets, on phones or laptops
and of course if you have the big
brother
this guy comes in very handy for TV sets
because when you have 16 by 16 inches
you have a lot more area to cover.
I also carry, this believe it or not, for
my full frame cameras because this is a
lot easier to work and cover a larger
area and very simple clean. If you notice
you'll check out a video that I did. All
you have to do is use warm water,
you don't have to use any solvents and
it's, douse it in warm water for a little
bit and stretch it out, rinse it out,
twist it out and let it drip-dry. Don't
throw this into a dryer because that can
actually damage the micropores that it has
in here that allow you to capture the
dirt. So if you're in the market you will
notice this is available in many of the
Altura Photo kits. It comes in different
versions where you get multiple of these,
you can even buy these in multiple
quantities by themselves. Also,
now we come to the Altura Photo sprays.
We have the empty spray bottle, which people
like, well why is that included in the
kit? what is it for?
Well, they did a lot of research and they
came to the conclusion that there are
some do-it-yourselfers and they prefer
the smaller size which is 20 ml
and they want to create their own
solution and there's many different
formulas out there. I showed one in a
YouTube video explaining how to work
with a distilled white vinegar and
distilled water. 20 ml more
economical because it's empty
you do all the work. Now the next step is
the Altura Photo optical spray, this
one's been on the market for a while,
very popular. It's still alcohol-free,
ammonia-free, it has no odor or color,
it's going to guarantee to work on lens
glass and screen cleaner. It comes in a
16 ml size and of course with
the spray, so, very simple work with. And
now we come to their newest version, this
is the Altura Photo all-natural, this guy
is guaranteed, one hundred percent safe,
it also has no ammonia, no alcohol, no
odor, no color, it is the safest solution
on the market to be able to clean your
sensor and your multi-coated lenses. It's
guaranteed not to scratch your delicate
DSLR or ilc sensor, so, also comes in 60
milliliters and it is proven to be the
leader in the industry when it comes to
cleaning sensors and multi-coated optics.
And it is also by the way manufactured
in the U.S. So there you have it, the
three sprays that are included in the
various kits from Altura Photo, you
again can make a decision of which one
is going to work best for you, whether
you want to do it yourself and just want
to standard optical or you want to get
the premium 100-percent all-natural
Altura spray.
Alright so now we come to the altar
photo lens tissue paper comes with 50
sheets you can put it in your pocket or
in your favorite backpack or carrying
case for your photo gear
it's lint-free so it's not going to give
you any kind of residue when you're
working with it and it's meant to be
delicate on all glass surfaces that
means going to work on your lenses your
filters LCD screens safe for
multi-coated lenses as you want to work
on your tablet and your smartphones and
everything else that has a screen on it
very simple to work with you just tear
one sheet out and then you use some of
the outdoor photo here i'm using the all
natural spray that's my favorite one
spray pump and then gently in a circular
motion put it across your lens there i'm
going to get rid of all the nasty
smudges that I had on there right
I always put that aside so I can throw
it away I don't like to litter and I
don't want to mess up the environment
now I Tehran another dry piece and in
the same whirling motion
I'm going to get rid of any excess fluid
that I might have had on the lens and
there is nice and clean and this guy is
really popular for cleaning your
viewfinder a lot of times people like
how do i get into that to really small
area
well again we're going to take out a
sheet fold it up a bit because you only
need a small portion spray pump there
and gently just brush it up on the
inside to make sure that you get any
kind of oil or residue that gets in
there now with the dry one again clean
it out and make sure that you don't have
any excess moisture on there from the
spray there you have it nice and easy to
work with compact and great for all your
glass surfaces the altar photo lens
tissue paper so most of the kids will
include both of these brushes and people
are always asking why are there two
brushes
why do i need two brushes
so they're similar but yet they're
really are very different
this is the standard brush this guy is
used and i always recommend it to get
rid of any excess grit and sand and dust
anything that is harmful to your
equipment and you don't want to scratch
it by trying to clean it with a
microfiber or a lens tissue so this guys
doing all the heavy duty work so I'm
here going around this camera went to
the beach and it's got a lot of sand and
grit and this guy is going to make sure
that none of this is going to end up
harming or damaging any of my glass part
whether it's the LCD or the viewfinder
or the front topic so that's this guy's
purpose its to get rid of excess grit
and dirt now we're going to take a look
at how to work with the altar of photo
lens cleaning pen notice this has
happened to you you have to admit all
the Sun you picked up the camera and you
notice that your front element is
incredibly filthy its all full of
fingerprints so this is where this
product comes in i'm going to show you
how easy it is to remove this situation
on right so what you first want to do
with the lens pen is you want to use the
brush portion and you want to make sure
that you brush off any excess sand or
grit that's on here because now when we
go to clean it
we don't want to rub that across the
front element that will damage your
length now we're going to remove the cap
portion and notice how you have the
circular area which is a bit concave so
it works perfectly for our front element
lenses and you're going to with gentle
pressure rub this across usually in a
circular fashion that works better with
a lens so that you can pick up all the
oils that are on there with the special
carbon tip and notice how its rubberized
and it literally moves to the circular
circumference of your optic and now to
make sure that it's perfectly clean
usually get a little bit of condensation
on there so you can look for
fingerprints so blow on it and if you
see any more fingerprints again go right
over it and there you have it now the
added bonus of this pen is you have a
second tip notice how this moves around
and now i have a smaller triangular tip
with corners which is great for guess
what else we got dirty nowadays are LCD
screens we're going to make sure that
there are no pieces of grit or sand on
there to scratch it even though most of
these are either with a screen protector
or a lot of us try to maintain it
great free but better safe than sorry
and then turn it around and now use this
portion i'm going to go up and down and
straight across so i can make sure that
I pick up every single fingerprint that
i have on there and again if you want to
be doubly sure get some compensation on
there and any other struggling
fingerprints you can use the compound
over it to make sure you pick it up and
there you have it now it's very
important to always put the cap on so
that you don't get this on any other
surfers remember it might stain because
of the carbon nature of it but this is
the easiest way to get rid of excess
fingerprints on both your LCD and your
optics with the ultra photo lens
cleaning pen now we have yet another
tool attend all the altar of photo
cleaning kits the blower this guy is
made out of durable rubber and plastic
has a red tip and it compresses the year
notice how you have an intake here and
this is the part that you use
to actually get rid of any those
particles that are on your camera very
important this is something that you
should always have with you because the
cameras tend to get stuff stuck on it
notice everything that is on this lens i
can now go ahead and with the horse air
we remove any excess and read for dust
that's on there before i go ahead and
clean it with my tissue or with my magic
fiber and all territorial spray so this
is a very vital portion of a cleaning
kit way back in the day we used to have
the compressed air but finally got smart
to the fact that has a propellant that
can literally damage your multi-coated
lenses and your sensor so now that's
where the blower aziz have become known
comes into play
it's come to become and very important
tool in the world of cleaning and
maintaining all your electronics now we
come to the newest member of the alt or
photo cleaning kit family the altar
photo EV a carrying case this is made
out of a special foam that is hard shell
but yet it maintains all your equipment
safely in here so that means all your
cleaning tools will fit in here perfect
so here i have the sensor swabs i'm
going to put the sensor swabs here i'm
going to take my lens cleaning pen and
my brush and place that in there also i
have my art or photo all natural spray
that fits perfectly in the mesh area and
then i can put my blower my lens tissue
and my magic fiber and now we're going
to take a look at the altar photo DSLR
sensor cleaning bundle for aps-c sized
sensors now the importance of this
bundle is that it is including six of
the aps-c 16-millimeter these guys are
23.6 by 15.6 aps-c sensor cleaning swaps
notice how they're individually wrapped
these guys are very
Kim sealed and they're made of a soft
lint-free stereo fabric i'm going to
show you right now show you the
difference because this is meant for
crop sensor cameras like the rebel that
I have sitting here on the side and
there you have it
this is the aps-c sized sensor swab is
going to remove stubborn stains on your
aps-c sensor and it's not going to have
any friction or static build-up now the
important thing is that when you're
going to do this you're going to have a
fully charged battery you don't want the
battery died in the middle of the
cleaning that could be fatal and you
want to be in a relatively sterile
environment you don't want to be doing
this out on the street or on the open
where you're going to run the risk of
getting more grit or dust on to your
sensor and the important thing is that
you're going to use as i show you hear
the altar of photo all-natural
100-percent sensor cleaning spray this
guy is made exclusively for sensor
cleaning you're going to use one pumps
and you're going to gently rub across
the sensor in one direction flip it and
go on the opposite and then you're going
to dispose of this you do not want to
reuse these guys whatever grit or oils
you pick up on here
you don't want to adhere back onto your
sensor if you try to do a secondary
cleaning and now we're going to take a
look at the DSLR full-frame sensor
cleaning bundle biol to a photo
this one comes with everything you need
to be able to clean your full frame
sensor DSLR now this sensor cleaning
bundle from altura incorporates six of
the specifically made sensor cleaning
swabs for full frame cameras i'm going
to open one of these guys up to show you
and the reason that these are meant for
full frames like the big boy that i have
sitting here is that it's a 24 x 36
millimeter now these are one-time use
it's not recommended to store these
after you use them to reuse them because
you're going to pick up a lot of dirt on
here and
you don't want to add that back onto
your sensor so this is again the outdoor
photo sensor cleaning swabs for full
frame cameras 24 x 36 millimeter happy
shooting
