Rocket-Air Blower Professional AA1903 (Red)

Nice device for dusting cameras. Some have commented on the large size. I prefer this as you can wrap your whole hand around it, and thus, squeeze harder and create a stronger blast of air.The rubber is thick and soft. Kind of feels like those old red rubber balls they used to use in Phys.Ed. classes when I was a kid. I imagine it will last a long time, and should stay free of cracks in the rubber.The tip is made of thick, sturdy plastic, and is well secured to the bulb.The stream of air generated is sufficient to clear dust from cameras and lenses, and for those inexperienced in cleaning a camera, it can prove much safer. I still keep micro-fiber cloths on hand, but rarely ever use them.As far as using it for computers, it would serve well for clearing dust and crumbs from a keyboard.In case you're thinking of using this for the inside of a computer, the air pressure generated would not be enough for a task such as that. Even with a computer equipped with air filters, some dust always gets in, and to clean off intake, exhaust, and cpu fans, as well as power supplies, video cards and heatsinks, you'll need something that creates a stronger, sustained blast of air.However, for camera bodies, sensors, lenses and other small electronics, it's a great tool.The price? Considering what you spend on camera equipment, this is a solid investment.

This Giottos RocketAir Blaster it's that; a BLASTER.This is a huge blower with a long nozzle that is large enough to reach within a camera's mirror box without needing you to insert the bulb inside the camera as well.Since the blower is so big, every squeeze releases a strong thrust of air that should be enough to remove any lose dust particles laying on places they dont belong.It's design makes it stand on its own, no worry it will roll over or need to keep an eye on it.Maybe the only down point of this blower its the size, it may be too big to carry around in a tight place, the instructions tell you not to move it around in a tight place, so if you got a small bag, you may not be able to carry it. But if you got a big enough bag, by all means take it with you! If you're looking for an item that will remove particles that shouldnt be on your camera, this is the one you need.You can also use it to blow air into keyboards or musical equipment.It's big, powerful and good looking. A must have.

While there may still be times you need the canned air this blaster will make that can last a lot longer. I'm surprised how much air this thing puts out and how well it removes dust. Just a few blasts removed all the visible dust from 2 LCD monitors and a keyboard. It might not be powerful enough to get all the dust out of your computer's cooling fans but you could use it to start the job then finish up with some canned air. The rocked design is clever and pretty useful since it stands up on those fins. You might want to air it out for a while before you pack it in your camera bag since the natural rubber does have an odor. Not a bad odor but it is noticeable. This thing's many times better than the little grey puffer I got years ago and worth the price especially since I now won't need the canned air as much anymore.

The classic Rocket air blaster, works as you would expect. Perfectly gets dust out of cameras. On the pricier side, there are cheaper alternatives that serve the same purpose. But if you want the name brand. Works as expected

The Giotto blower works very well. You would never want to jamb the nozzle into the camera sensor or lens, and indeed, you can give this unit a firm squeeze and there is no tendency for it to move toward the lens or sensor.I'm a bit puzzled by the design, however. When you squeeze the bulb, a check valve at the bottom air inlet closes so air goes out the nozzle. When you release the bulb, air enters through the nozzle and the bottom air inlet to refill the bulb. What's the purpose of the bottom air inlet? Why not just let the bulb refill via the nozzle?There is no filtering of the air you squirt into the camera body or lens with this device. The force of the air flow may dislodge particles from the sensor and lens, but it may shoot new dust pieces in to replace them. Maybe any new dust going in tends not to stick because of the moving air?What I would really like is for this unit to shoot filtered air into the camera or lens. I achieve that by putting a couple layers of flannel cloth over the bottom air inlet and hold them on with a rubber band. Because air can enter the bulb from the bottom air inlet or the nozzle, I put my finger over the nozzle when releasing my grip on the bulb. This is an awkward move, not quite possible with one hand and the other hand should be holding the camera or lens. But, it can be done.What the unit really needs is a check valve in both the bottom air inlet and the nozzle so air only enters via the bottom and only exits via the nozzle. This would be complemented by a filter over the bottom air inlet.Until Giotto or someone makes these improvements, I can live with this unit.

This is a good Eco-friendly way to save some money by never having to buy those canned air dusters again. I got one for the office and it's more handy to have around than I thought it would be. I use it more often that I would a canned air duster because I know it's never going to run out. It's made of very durable rubber and I expect it to last a long time.I will say that if you're going to use it for the office, buy the large size. It is pretty big, but that comes in handy because it means less squeezing. You still have to squeeze a fair amount, which can be a hand workout, so it's probably not good for people with arthritis.
