We all know that digital cameras with interchangeable lenses are prone to dirty sensors, but it's so easy to forget to clean the sensor when out in the field.
The Derecho™ Sensor Blaster is an innovative camera cap for digital SLR or mirrorless cameras that both protects and cleans your camera sensor to minimize dust contamination. Especially critical for shooting video.
The Derecho Sensor Blaster's mascot is the greek god of wind (keeper of wind), Aeolus, blowing a derecho – a powerful, straight-line wind.
The Derecho ™ Sensor Blaster is a body cap that can clean the sensor and the inside of your camera each time you switch your camera lens.
No other device can clean your camera cavity and the sensor so easily and quickly – just three or more blasts and light dust is gone. Works with most popular air blasters.
This low cost camera body cap and sensor cleaner should be a standard accessory for every serious photographer. Works on both DSLR and Mirrorless cameras.
"This sensor cleaning camera cap is so convenient and so easy to use, it's hard to believe someone didn't think of it sooner."
Shawn Harper, Photographer, Harper Fritsch Studios, Madison, WI.
"Shooting video in diverse and often harsh environments creates a risk for camera sensors and the potential degradation of the final image due to dust particles. The Derecho Sensor Blaster renders the risk virtually nonexistent. Whether you're on the factory floor or shooting in a dry and dusty environment, this handy little product is easy to use and gives me peace of mind that my sensor is always clean."
Jack Whaley, Director/Cinematographer.
"For a long time, sensor cleaning on location felt like a calculated risk. You'd weigh the dust spot against the fear of scratching or contaminating the sensor, and sometimes just leave it and fix it in post.
This new body cap changes that calculation entirely. You simply inset a blower bulb into the Derecho cap and squeeze — a clean burst of filtered air goes straight at the sensor. Nothing touches it, nothing is introduced that shouldn't be there. No swabs, no liquid, no contact at all. Just air, controlled and safe.
What's reassuring is how the Derecho design keeps the whole process contained. The Derecho replaces your existing body cap your air blaster does the work – and your sensor stays protected throughout. It feels engineered with care for the sensor, not just convenience for the shooter.
If sensor cleaning has ever made you hesitate, this is the tool that makes it a non-issue. "
Mats Rudels, Photographer/Videographer.
