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! :-)
Beset portable, hand held squeeze air blower that I've used.
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.
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.
The Rocket Blaster is a luxury for sure, but you can really feel the quality as soon as you pick it up. For the price, it'd better last a lifetime, and I think it will. Plus it's red and looks cool, so I got that going for me.
Here is what most people do before buying this product:
Many people out there may try to blow air through their mouth. This is a bad idea since you will obviously get small specks of saliva on the lens which will make it harder to clean.
Some people decide that they will only use a lens pen or microfiber cleaning cloth. From what I understand (and this is purely unscientific) excessive cleaning will actually degrade the quality of the front element over time (or even the rear element). Don't get me wrong. I use a microfiber cleaning cloth as well. However, I use it as a last resort if the air blower doesn't remove the visible particles.
This leads me to this product. Is it powerful enough? I mean it is intended for optical and computer equipment (keyboards). Yes and no. Some people will like the quick rush of air. I personally do not think it is nearly as powerful as it should be. It has served me well so far but on occasion it proves to be rather unpowerful. You may find some dust particles stick to the lens even after use. That is when I pull out the microfiber cloth.
Recommendation:
Yes, I'd buy it bearing in mind that I may have to whip out my trusty microfiber cleaning cloth. This is a moderately powerful blower that I'll probably be keeping. I hope Giottos comes out with something more potent in the future since I don't like cleaning down the lens by hand (for reasons mentioned above).
