Brushoff Sensor Cleaner?

Anybody know anything about this? I've searched photo.net and can't

find anything. I Thought Slidescribe was a reputable outfit.

This is the new 'must-have' high tech sensor cleaning brush brought to

you by Image Innovations! Protect your camera investment with the

newest technology in CCD cleaning.

BRUSHOFFﾩ

BRUSHOFF is unique in the digital cleaning world. It's unlike any

other sensor brush on the market because it neutralizes both charged

dust particles and the sensor surface. Imagine this effect on your CCD!

BRUSHOFF is conductive because the dust and lint that attaches to the

sensor or lens surface is attached there electrically (dust has a

negative charge and the sensor/lens a positive one). Breaking that

electric bond is the only way to both remove the debris and discharge

the sensor or lens surface so new particles are not again immediately

attracted to it. BRUSHOFF works by neutralizing the static charge

build up on a sensor or lens. Its unique fibers pull dust from the

surface and the conductive barrel then holds that static charge until

the brush is electrically grounded using the attached grounding plug.

From the website:

Cleaning the brush is quite simple; gently wipe the bristles with a clean PEC-PAD saturated with Eclipse .

If I already have PecPad and Eclipse to begin with, one would assume that I've been using that to clean a DSLR's sensor. So, why would I need Brushoff?

I have tried sensor brushes from both Visible Dust and Copperhill Images. They are half-effective and the Copperhill one even streaked the sensor (yes, I never touched the brush with finger etc.). I doubt if this one will be any better.

Over time, I realized the best cleaning is wet cleaning with Eclipse, or no cleaning at all. I hardly ever use brushes now.

I thought I was doing something wrong. I agree, they are effective, but not nearly as effective

as the hype would have you believe. I'm not that obsessive about zero dust specks, but if I

were, I'd probably be annoyed at having spent so much money on something that doesn't live

up to the promise. The major advantage is that you can travel without having to worry about

Eclipse.
