As we are all photographers, just interesting how often each of us are cleaning own equipment?

Personality I try to clean my equipment once a month, but also depends on how much I'm using it and the environment too.

I clean then I see it's needed 😂, or when I have important sessions making for money 🤭 so I remember to do it,but I should do it much often 😂

That's smart. So when you decide that is time to clean your gear?

Depends on how many times I'm on a photo walk... I clean mostly at least my tripod when I'm taking mushroom photos in the forest, but I don't clean my whole equipment each month unless it's not really needed or there are visible dust spots on the sensor.

How you are cleaning the sensor and the glass of the lenses?

I just received my cleaning kit today, I try to clean my kit once a month, I like to keep them in mint condition and ready to be used any time :)
