AA1900 Rocket Air Blaster (Black)

Giotto makes the best hand-held airblowers (in my experience.) In this case it’s being used to blow dust out of a laptop keyboard. If you compare it to another brand to blow the same piece of paper, this will send that paper farther away. I have used another Giotto to blow dust off camera lenses and it works great. The rubber used is just soft enough to provide an easy squeeze, and solid enough to provide a strong burst of air. One more thing: hold the keyboard upside down over a towel to let the dust fall away from the keyboard while you blow on it. You may need to have someone hold the keyboard while you squeeze the Giotto.BONUS: You may also build up your hand muscles in the process!

This is one of those things that is hard to imagine how I lived without. I am a photographer, and I switch lenses a LOT (oh how I wish I could afford 2 camera bodies). Dust, lint, etc inevitably ends up stuck to the sensor in my camera. It would be insane to touch the sensor with something -- not only might that "something" damage the sensor, but pushing the dust or lint across the sensor might damage the sensor too. No, the smart thing is for a gust of wind to sweep the particles away. I would never use compressed air; it is much too forceful, and sometimes freezing cold liquid comes out instead. This blower is ideal. You can direct it at the right place, the air coming out is hard, but not too hard, and it never runs out (or if it does run out of air, you have bigger problems, like asphyxiation).I bought 2, one for my camera, one for everything else (mostly just computers). It claims to filter the air coming into the blower, but computers are SO dusty, I don't want to trust that. So I keep one just for the camera.Using these to clean out computer cases is excellent, too. You don't have to buy compressed air (it just seems stupid to buy air), and so you don't have to waste metal cans.A blower isn't fun or cool, but it is essential for a photographer. Once debris gets on your sensor, you MUST clean it off -- it will show up on EVERY picture you take, until you do (unless you're only shooting at 2.8 or faster, which I often am, but not always).I've owned 2 for a long time, and they're still in perfect condition.

I purchased this over a year ago and have been using it whenever I want to blow dust off my tech and gear.As an avid photographer and a stickler for maintaining my camera gear in pristine condition, the Giottos Rocket Air Blaster has become an indispensable tool in my kit. This unassuming yet powerful dust blower has revolutionized the way I clean my camera equipment, and I can confidently say it's a must-have accessory for anyone serious about keeping their gear spotless.Design and Build Quality:The Giottos Rocket Air Blaster's design is cleverly inspired by a rocket, and it's not just for aesthetics. The elongated nozzle resembles the rocket's nose, making it easy to reach into tight spaces and crevices without causing any damage. The overall build quality is exceptional, featuring robust materials that ensure durability over time. The rubber bulb is easy to squeeze, providing a steady and controlled stream of air without any leaks or inconsistencies.Performance and Effectiveness:When it comes to removing dust and debris from delicate camera lenses, sensors, and other equipment, the Giottos Rocket Air Blaster performs like a champ. Its powerful burst of air is more than sufficient to blow away even the tiniest particles without the need for physical contact, reducing the risk of scratches or damage to sensitive coatings. The blower's air intake valve prevents dust from being sucked back into the nozzle, ensuring that the cleaned areas stay pristine.Portability and Convenience:The Giottos Rocket Air Blaster's lightweight design makes it portable but the large size comes with space challenges depending on how big your camera bag is. I carry a Peak Design Everyday Sling 5L so the blaster stays at home since I don't like to carry bulky bags but I could buy a smaller blaster if I wanted to carry it around. I ultimately chose the larger one so that I could get more air to come out per squeeze and thus have more force to push dust away. Seeing how much I use the large size, I might buy the smaller size so I have something to carry around.User-Friendly:One of the standout features of this blower is its straightforward operation. The ergonomic design of the Rocket Air Blaster ensures a comfortable grip, allowing for precise and targeted bursts of air.Value for Money:While the Giottos Rocket Air Blaster might be priced slightly higher than other air blowers on the market, the performance and build quality more than justify the investment. It has proven to be a reliable and effective tool, extending the lifespan of my camera gear and ensuring consistently clean shots.Conclusion:In conclusion, the Giottos Rocket Air Blaster is an outstanding product that lives up to its reputation as a top-tier dust blower for camera gear. Its excellent performance, user-friendly design, and durable build make it a worthwhile investment for both amateur and professional photographers alike. If you're serious about maintaining your camera equipment and want to ensure the best possible image quality, this little rocket blower will undoubtedly blast away your cleaning woes. Highly recommended!
