Sensor cleaning

[Gopher77]

I know you guys are quite busy finishing NAB and preparefor production, but when you get a moment could some one give us a quick tutorial on cleaning the sensor in both field and lab conditions and the kit supplies required to do this. Not general DSLR cleaning but specific to Red.

Thanks,
Gopher

Very good point! Especially since it'll probably influence our lens choices - If the sensor cleaning process is a little tricky, then zooms might become more attractive...

Have a look at this flash movie (link below) from Visibledust sensor cleaning kit. What you have to do is to follow all those steps and in future to clean exactly in that way your the RED ONE digital cine camera sensor.

Assuming it turns out to be the same as DSLR cleaning, I have found the Visibledust (http://www.visibledust.com/products.php) Sensor Brush to be very effective. Awful website but great product.

Everyone's in Vegas right now and your asking for detailed instructions on blowing your sensor:sarcasm:

I would guess that your camera manual will address this very important question when you receive it.

I went for the 8mm brush in preference to the Arctic butterfly, generally gets better reviews, and is lots cheaper too.
