So good, I created a KelbyOne Class<\/a><\/strong> on this topic but I don’t go through everything<\/em> that I have with my on projects.\u00a0Not that I guarantee I’ll list everything here, but I’m going to make an attempt at it. First is what is in my sensor cleaning kit. Its contents are:<\/p>\n

VisibleDust Ultra MXD-100 Green Sensor Cleaning VSwabs\u00a0<\/a> x20
\nVisibleDust Ultra MXD-100 “Green” Corner Swabs<\/a> x20
\nVisible Dust Swab light
\nNitcore Blower<\/a>
\nVisibleDust Quasar R 5x Sensor Loupe<\/a>
\nEclipse Optic Cleaning Solution<\/a> 0.05oz
\nLens Clens<\/a> (known as Pink Juice)<\/p>\n

This is just my sensor \/ gear cleaning kit. It all fits in the small case you see in the lower right corner. The “stuff in the case in the upper left corner is the repair \/ spare parts case. What’s in it takes longer to list and sadly, much I can’t link. You might have to do some searching to find the same or like item as I’ve had some of it for a long time. Its contents is:<\/p>\n

Micro screwdriver<\/a> & Tronic tweezers<\/a> set
\nSpare Z body & rear lens cap
\nRepl Tripod rubber foot
\nSpare DK-33 \/ DK-2 eyecups<\/a>
\nNikon DK-17a<\/a> Anti-fog eyepiece (though I don’t how I can use it on the Z 9)
\nSpare 10-pin \/ PC covers Z 9
\nSpare Nikon BS-1<\/a> Hot Shoe Cover
\nSpare Zenelli Head parts
\nKodak Lens Tissue (long discontinued now sorry to say)
\nSpare batteries for Sensor Loupe
\nVisibleDust Mini Quasar 7x Sensor Loupe<\/a> (emergencies)
\nKrazy Glue<\/a> (not opened)
\nGaffer Tape<\/a>
\nKAIFNT K451<\/a> Ultra Low Profile Screwdriver Bit 23 piece Set w\/Mini Ratchet Wrench
\nPiece of clean, white T Shirt
\nLeatherman Wingman<\/a>
\nThere are some other small odds & ends that have no name and they’re “just in case”<\/p>\n

All of this is housed in that plastic case pictured in top left corner. The two plastic cases, parts & sensor cleaning are simple cosmetic cases I think I picked up at Walmart. Those two cases reside in a Think Tank Logistic Manager V1 case. That is always packed in my checked-in luggage vertically so when scanned, its contents are for the most part invisible. And that Kent, is what I take with me to keep the gear cleaned and functioning in the field. Thanks for the great question![\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
