VisibleDust Introduces the New Arctic Butterfly® 724 (Brite)

June 20, 2008 - The Visible Dust Arctic Butterfly® 724 (Brite) features a bright LED that illuminates the sensor while in operation. This illumination reduces the possibility of fibers being dragged accidentally against the surrounding cavity hence reducing the potential cause of smear usually caused by contaminated fibers.

The bright LED of Arctic Butterfly® 724 (Brite) makes dust locating an easier task for the sensor cleaning operator. The DC rotary engine has been modified to meet a certain RPM standard. It generates an optimal centrifugal force that enables speedy dust rejection while increasing the charge enhancement of the fibers. These combined patented features also include SCF (Super Charged Fibers). By implementing nano-coating technology for charge enhancements and by using super thin fibers for maximum lift capability along the AB-724's rotary motion for cleaning/charging (without the use of canned air) makes the Arctic Butterfly® 724 (Brite) a superb sensor cleaning tool.

Because of its safety features all models of Arctic Butterfly® can be safely used on ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) coated sensor and DLSR's with built in sensor cleaning systems

Key Features

  • Three Stage Power Button On/Off - Equipped with Bright LED light
  • Requires 2 AAA batteries (not included)
  • Enhanced fiber cleaning through patented rotary motion
  • No canned air - Completely travel safe
  • Super-Charged Fiber Technology
  • Metal ferrule is attached to the body of the Arctic Butterfly
    through a non-conductive joint

 

 

VisibleDust Announces the New Vswab™ Sensor Cleaning Swab

The new Vswab™ ships from VisibleDust this week.

May 18, 2008 - VisibleDust, the leader in sensor cleaning announces the newly designed sensor cleaning swab for Digital SLRs called Vswab™ (Patent Pending). Currently, Vswab™ is made for full size 1.0X or 24mm width sensors found in cameras such as the NIKON D3.

The Vswab™ out performs other square format swabs currently on the market because of it's unique letter "V" shape. The advantage of this improved design over square swabs is clear when used on full frame sensors instead of the smaller APS sensor sizes. The smaller edge of the V shape swab helps minimize contact with the swab fabric and the chamber wall. This prevents dust and lint on the inside the chamber wall from falling onto the sensor during cleaning.

Another advantage of the Vswab™ design is it's maneuverability inside the camera chamber. The V shape design also provides better visiblity of the sensor when cleaning making swabbing easy. In addition, the design also gives the ability to apply equal pressure to the edge of the swab pad producing less streaking along edges and giving you a cleaner sensor all around. The innovative design not only minimizes streaking and resists tearing, but it also excels at cleaning the edges of sensors and especially those hard to reach corners.

Although our original classic square format swab has performed superbly in most cameras with wider chambers, we know that the new Vswab&trade will perform even better in the next generation narrower chamber cameras, such as Nikon D3. The new Vswab™ also out performs and overcomes many of the deficiencies of the standard square format swabs on the market today.

"The design of the new swab was a lengthy process. At VisibleDust, we believe that our customers deserve the highest quality products without compromise. In our endeavor to achieve the highest quality and engineering, we constantly research and pioneer for the most innovative quality products. However, we are at the same time determined to defend our intellectual properties from those who intend to copy or infringe in our patents." - Dr.Degan, VisibleDust, President
