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.

How can you miss! Works well!

Packs a punch. No wonder it's the brand many photographers recommend to bring along when shooting outside. I used it for lenses, sensor, prisms, mirrors, both analog and digital cameras. The rubber is big enough that it holds a good volume of air, and flexible enough that you don't get cramps pressing it. It's definitely a good tool that I carry with me everywhere I shoot.

This Rocket Air Blaster just DOES it! It literally blows off almost any dust off your camera, your lenses, your backpack, your cars' dashboard, it takes care of most dust/lint/hair easily...it really just works well. Most of the blower/brushes you get with a camera cleaning kit just do not have the force behind it to blow much dust off your equipment. Plus, they also suck air back into the air reservoir (and dust too) with every squeeze. The Rocket Blaster, on the other hand, only blows air one way...it draws air in through the rear of the rocket, so when the 'bulb' refills with air, it doesn't suck back in the dust it just blew off you equipment. A simple but beautifully designed tool. It is of heavy duty construction; the blast of air really works, and it is so well built it should last for many, many years! I recommend them to all my photographer friends and the photography students I work with often. I recommend it to YOU too! :-)

I picked one of these up to see if it could save us some money and waste, and I must say I'm impressed. It's not as powerful as compressed air, which is still needed on occasion, but it works very well for daily maintenance and extends the time between heavy-duty cleanings significantly. My husband and I both use it regularly on our PC's and desks, and we like it well enough that we gave one to a techie friend as a gift. There's a bit of a rubbery odor when the item is new, but it isn't too bad, and fades after it's been out of the package for a bit. It does require some effort to use, but I consider this an added benefit, as my hands have always been a bit weak and can use the exercise; this also improves with regular use. It's also quite well-made and sturdy. We've had ours for about six months now, and despite daily use it's still in like-new condition. I really like this item, and will not hesitate to buy more of them anytime I find an occasion to do so.

Works very well but the price has skyrocketed the past 8 years. It used to be $10. Still, I liked it so much over the alternatives that I bought two more.

I bought my first one of these 15 years ago and within a short period I bought 2 more for using all around the house. They are so useful around the house. I use it to blow the dust off all of my items on my desk on a regular basis. Very easy to direct your airflow so that you don't accidentally knock off other items while cleaning. A few puffs of this each day and you won't have to dust so much. One stays in my camera bag as well for keeping my lens dust and dirt free when out in the field. Combine this with a microfiber cloth and you can get every shot without having to clean up so much in post-processing.

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.

A very useful and must have gadget for any serious photographer. A very powerful, larger rocket blower available in the market.

I had one of these and lost it in the Lake District. It is invaluable for clearing the lens and/or filters of dust. Best I have found, much more effective than a brush and not a scratchy as a cloth. Hoping the red one will be more obvious to spot if it drops out of my bag!

The air blow is under my expectation, you can blow stronger than this by your mouth.

Buena calidad al tacto y muy buen flujo de aire

Not over powering, perfect for me
