Hi
Not sure if this is in the right area, but I just watched a Nigel Danson video, and he recommends a sensor cleaning brush to get the dust off the sensor. Anyone know the best place to get one of these is Australia.

I suggest you watch a few on-line videos on how to clean the sensor of your particular camera,
if you haven't already done so.
CC, Image editing OK.
Thanks for reply. I have done that although not recently. This brush was to de dust the sensor in between cleans with fluids
Hi Billy
I recall getting a Sensor Kit from Digital Camera Warehouse for my 5D Mk III and was able to use it successfully.

More importantly, have you visited this website on sensor cleaning - I found it very informative:

OK, that's good. I have not used one, but look at various sensor-cleaning kits.
Gunk (a technical term) on a sensor can be just dust, or spots of dried fluid, so a
brush might only be useful for the first type. Good luck with it, and you've urged
me to do the same with my camera.
PS: Others here will offer more advice.

If that is a static type brush then it did not work for me.
I have cleaned the sensors on my all my Canon cameras over the years and not doing to well with the wet clean.
For me I found the best is the Eyelead Sensor Gel Stick made in Germany I paid around AU$100 years ago could be cheaper now and so much easier to use.
Please do not buy the cheap version from ebay.. If you decide on this one always make sure you can use it on your Brand Name Camera
And follow the instructions on the box it comes in.
Hi Dennis
I will re-check out the videos on cleaning of the sensor. Im using the new Sony mirrorless A7 iii. Not sure if mirrorless are more susceptible to dust due to lack of mirror but there are a few dust spots on my pics. Ill try blowing them out with the blower between cleans

Maryanne Yes the brush recommended was a static type brush, looked like a paint brush. I will check out the Gel stick
Thanks

I meant a little Giotto rocket blower not a vacuum or leaf blower. Lol
But thanks everyone for your help
