Digital camera lens changing and sensor cleaning can now be done in a in carry along case that creates a virtually dust free environment.
Sensor Cleaning & Lens Changing Case – Click here for Brochure
IonosGear1: This patented case design prevents dust particles from enterning into the camera sensor cavity during lens chanigng and also creates a dust free environment from sensor cleaning. To avoid sensor contamination, the IonosGear1's electronics both quickly scrub the chamber's air of dust and suppress static electricity using an ionization system without creating a Venturi effectig.
IonosGear1 ships and stores collapsed about the size of a laptop computer. Carry it in its own bag or it can conveniently travel in the laptop compartment of camera bags or backpacks.
Lens Changing: The IonosGear1 in its normally deployed position accommodates most normal, fixed focal length lenses up to 400mm and zooms up to 500mm. For focal lengths up to 800mm, unzip the concearled extension panel and change your lens without fear of sensor dust.
Sensor Cleaning: With the flip of a switch, a high luminosity overhead lamp comes on while the electronic "air scrubbers" run silently. The 185mm Fresnel magnifier lens installed in the top panel permits close inspection of the sensor at its optimum resting height, so visible dust is seen without using a sensor loupe. An optional 120mm Fresnel magnifier or a clear lens can also be purchased from the factory if closer inspection to the window is desired. The interior side panel of the IonosGear1 has pockets to hold cleaning solutions and swabs out of the way while cleaning the sensor.
Note: Do not store fluids within the case to avoid spilling.
Weight: IonoGear1 weighs less than 2.5 pounds or 1.14 kilograms, with the carrying case both total 3 pounds or approximately 1.37 kilograms.
