The product, in the report: Arctic Butterfly® 724 (Super Bright) Sensor Brush® is a cleaning brush used in digital cameras. It has a high-speed spinning brush powered by a battery and DC motor
The Artic Butterfly 724 has a fatal flaw which ensures your cleaner will break and fail. It is hard these days to design a product with 100% failure, but they have. The nonconductive ferrule shaft (it is white in the photos) is apparently made of a soft plastic that easily cracks. The shaft can develop hairline cracks where the brush will not stay securely attached to the DC motor shaft. The brush can then fly off and can lead to personal injury. Every one of these should be recalled until Visible Dust, the manufacturers of the Artic Butterfly, can redesign the brush and attachment point to make sure the the brush cannot fly off.
The attached photos show a brand new 724 with the brush that arrived today (12/31/16) from Amazon that failed on first use. I was fortunate, the brush only hit me in the leg and did not hit me in the eye. I was not wearing eye protection. Nothing in the instructions suggests that eye protection is required during use.
