Worked Perfectly and Saved Me from Myself
I did something everybody knows you NEVER do - blew on my lens. It was stupid but it was a reflex and before I could stop myself, I'd covered my sensor with saliva. Gross.
I purchased this cleaning kit for my Lumix S5 and the swabs were the perfect size for a full-frame sensor. I followed the directions and made one swipe in each direction. This first swab got me 90% of the way there and after a second swab, it was good as new.

Mirrorless camera sensor cleaning
Swithcing from DSLR bodies to any mirrorless body... your first lesson will be that dust on the sensor is an ongoing issue if you have more than one lens. I do not live in a terrible dusty environment... just the opposite.. lots of rain. Even with the built in vibration cleaner on screen and atomic rubber air blasters... I have had to use a cleaner more in 6 months on my Sony A7 and 6500 than I had to in Nikon Dslrs in years+. Cost is reasonable. So value is good since you will likely use them frequently ( one time only!).. do not believe they will harm my sensor in any way.. Have full frame and APS.. no issues either...

Did the job nicely, but take getting used to.
At first, I was afraid to use the solution that came in the package having read some reviews. But the dust specs on my sensor are very stubborn. I ended up using half the swaps because of one very tough spot -- which was a bit of a mistake. I should have stopped after 3rd attempts. Even though I'm afraid it may be too much to repeat the whole process all over again, I did it anyway. And now my sensor is very clean except for that 1 spot which can be healed easily with photoshop.
The paddle fit the full frame sensor of my Canon EOS 5D MK II very well, although like some of the reviewers said, there is a little room on top and bottom of the sensor that the paddle cannot reach -- and annoyingly, that's where some of my dusts were.
Do resist the temptation to go back and forth with the paddle (which unfortunately I did). So, if you have the same problem of sticky dusts like I had; and after maybe your third try and you have 1 dust spot left, STOP. That's better than keep going and risking introducing my dust specs.
The swapping takes a bit of getting used to because all of us are so afraid of damaging the sensor. But I went all out because those blobs of black specs have been ruining too many of my great photos -- especially my perfect sky. So, either that, or taking risks.
I'm happy to report that my risks paid off and now my sensor is CLEAN!!! Hooray. Thank you to you people at UES.
So despite some trials and errors, I still give 5 stars - because it beats paying 60 bucks to have it cleaned professionally.
Hope this helps.

Works, and I tweaked the directions a bit.
After blowing off the sensors in my 5Ds and 5Dsr, I put the camera into manual sensor cleaning, held the body upside down, reached in with the cleaning wand and gently, very gently, stroked it over the sensor. It worked. No more visible dust on the sensor. Note: I did not bother to use the fluid, as some have commented that it might leave a residue. Between cameras, I blew off the wand with the "rocket" air pump. Manufacturers would have you use it but once, but I suspect that there's more than a little planned obsolesce in this injunction.

Clean your camera sensor safely
These swabs and the cleaning solution are all of my hopes and dreams!
I know that sounds ridiculous, but I'm extremely particular about sensor spots, especially in real estate photos where my aperture is tight. I use these swabs pretty regularly and they always do a great job of cleaning without damaging the sensor.
Just make sure you get the cleaning solution too. I only needed a refill of swabs, so I didn't get the whole kit this time.

Worked well for the money
Very inexpensive, they did the job. I'm a professional photographer. I'll admit I was nervous doing this for my new mirrorless camera as I've never manually cleaned my sensors ever in the past. However, I YouTubed a couple videos. It's very easy. Just use your brain and be smart. If you're careful, you shouldn't have to use these that often.

Worked great!
I had lots of dust on the sensor. Having never done this before, I was scared of touching the sensor. The local camera shop was going to take a couple of days to clean the sensor (for $75). Decided to try it myself. Had to use 4 swabs but am happy with the outcome.

High quality material
Overall my experience in cleaning my sensor on my A7S ii was great. The solution did not leave any residue or streaks. The swab size is exactly the width of the sensor. I had use the sensor cleaning mode on the camera first to shake off and lock the sensor in place. Then I blowed as much of the large particles as I can with a blower. Then I did one pass per side of the swab and it was clean.

Worked like a charm
I had been meaning to clean the sensor in my Canon 6D for years. Every time I took landscape pics I always had to brush away the spots of dirt in post-production. I used about 5 of these swabs, the cleaning fluid it comes with and a little bit of canned air and my sensor is back to looking new again. Would buy again if I ever needed to.

UES FFR24 Professional Full-Frame Camera Sensor Cleaning Kit was a lifesaver
I am so happy to have found the UES FFR24 Professional Full-Frame Camera Sensor Cleaning Kit. I had some things on my sensor and didn't want to have to send my camera back to Canon or pay $80 for a local cleaning. The cleaning videos that I saw looked really simple to do so I wanted to do this myself. The kit arrived the next day, I cleaned the sendor, issues were resolved and I can now sell this camera plus clean my other cameras. Great seller!
Question & Answer
Question :
Will these swabs also work for the full-frame sensor in mirrorless cameras such as Nikon Z6/Z7?
Answer :
Yes, this is the right sensor cleaning swab for full-frame mirrorless cameras such as Nikon Z6/Z7, Canon EOS R and Sony A7.
Question :
Does this fit the full frame sensor of the Sony A7R4?
Answer :
It fits all standard full frame sensors that are 24X36 mm. I don't know the Sony but it's most likely that size. Never mind, I looked it up and it is that size. Awesome looking camera!
Question :
I would like to try to these but I worry that they might scratch the Z7 sensor. Could they?
Answer :
My Sony cost about as much as your Z7. I've been using these type of kits since I got the previous model A7 Sony, when I found out to take it to a camera store to clean my sensor cost almost $60.
VSGO brand is the one I used previously, but I couldn't find it on Amazon when I looked for the full-sensor version, so I purchased this EUS, FFR 24 brand recently. I've used it once and I have not had any issues with it at all.
It did not scratch my sensor. The issue is not the kit, but the person using it.
I try my best, to use as very little pressure as I can, when cleaning my sensor. In fact, I just carefully place the brush on the edge of the sensor and kind of lightly 'drag' it to the other side of the sensor. Leaving just the weight of the brush on the sensor. Then I flip the brush over and drag it the other direction.
I remove after that, and never drag it a third or fourth stroke.
In the VSGO kit, it said you can use the brush without the liquid cleaner. But I use the liquid every time I clean my sensor. I only clean the sensor when I can find a spot in my photos that is not camera related.
Lastly, although you can't always control this. I try to change my lenses at home, or in my car, not in an outside environment.
Question :
Will this work on Sony a7siii camera?
Answer :
The short answer is yes. But the fact that you didn’t know this implies that you have never done it before and would probably be better off having it professionally cleaned, so you don’t damage your sensor and ruin your camera.
