Sensor Wands
A Sensor Wand is a custom made spatula onto which a user can attach a pec*pad ( very soft lint-free cleaning material) in order to construct a ‘homemade’ sensor cleaning swab. Sensor Wands are inexpensive and available in different sizes to suit different sensor sizes. They can be quite effective, although there is the overhead of building each swab yourself together with the risk of contaminating the swab while it is assembled.
Good Points – Cheap; Reasonably Effective.
Bad Points – Time Consuming; Higher risk of damaging sensor; No warranty.
