Compare VisibleDust FlexoDome sensor cleaning accessories for Nikon, Canon, and Sony mounts. Learn the key differences and which one suits your camera.
Quick answer
Choose the FlexoDome model that matches your camera's mount—Nikon F, Canon EF, or Sony A—because each accessory is designed to fit that specific lens mount. The core FlexoDome design is the same across models, so your decision comes down to compatibility.
What sets the FlexoDome apart
The FlexoDome acts as a fence between the sensor contact and the blower nozzle, letting you invert the camera's sensor downward without worrying about accidentally touching the sensor. This design supports gravity to remove heavier particles more effectively.
It also eliminates the need for shorter, narrower nozzles on bulb blowers, providing a directional blast that makes dust removal more efficient. This is a key advantage over standard blowers, especially for stubborn particles.
Mount-specific design: why it matters
Each FlexoDome model is tailored to a specific lens mount: Nikon F, Canon EF, or Sony A. The physical shape and attachment mechanism differ to ensure a secure fit and proper alignment with your camera's sensor area.
Using the correct mount-specific FlexoDome ensures that the blower nozzle is positioned accurately and that the protective fence works as intended. A mismatched accessory may not fit securely, reducing effectiveness and increasing the risk of accidental contact.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Nikon F-mount: Choose the FlexoDome for Nikon F-mount cameras if you own a Nikon DSLR with an F-mount. It provides the same gravity-assist cleaning and directional blast as the other models, but is specifically shaped for Nikon bodies. Confirm your camera's mount type before purchasing.
- Canon EF-mount: The Canon EF version is designed for Canon DSLRs with an EF mount. It offers identical cleaning benefits but with a fit tailored to Canon's lens mount geometry. Check that your Canon camera uses the EF mount, not EF-S or RF.
- Sony A-mount: For Sony A-mount DSLRs, this model ensures a secure fit. It delivers the same FlexoDome advantages, but is not compatible with Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. If you use a Sony E-mount camera, this accessory is not the right fit.
