 Nice Blower for Camera & Computer! March 29, 2008
At first I purchased this blower to go with my digital camera (and for that it is a MUST for every camera bag). I also found the Rocket Blaster works extremely well on my laptop & desktop keyboard and for dusting off my monitor, as a much more economical and safe alternative to those cans of compressed air. I can without any reservation 100% recommend this item for either of these purposes, and I am in fact thinking about buying another to keep this bigger one handy in my office as well as another (smaller) one in my camera bag.
Air Duster Giottos AA1900 March 26, 2008
I bought this air duster for my camera which recommends that freon dusters be not used. The large bulb moves a decent amount of air to blow away any dust on the lens. I also find that I can use this same duster for my computer keyboard and just about any other device where air dusting will work. The primary importance is the fact that this unit will not dump liquid onto the component being dusted. In my case, it is critical not to freeze the camera sensor which can cause severe damage. This unit works well for those tasks.
 not really sure it does much March 4, 2008

When it comes to cleaning the sensor on my D80, I'm a bit in a fog. I've tried several products, and none seem to work well. This does blast air across the sensor, but it doesn't seem to remove much. Photos looked the same after as before when I tried this product. I took my camera to a local shop and they blasted my sensor clean with the air pump. Sure, I can't take their hose into the field, but neither can I take this. Perhaps the blaster is better as a preventative.
Every camera-bag should have one February 29, 2008

So, how do you rate a rubber thingy that blows air...?
The Rocket Blaster looks like a real sturdy little tool, good quality rubber and the plastic tip looks fine. When you squeeze the rubber tummy, air comes out the tip - simple. The 'fins' at the bottom could be handy if you need to put it down on a surface and you don't want the plastic tip to touch whatever you are putting it on. I have used mine a couple of times now, and it gets most dust off (just be careful when cleaning the sensor, not to touch your sensor by accident with the tip). It has a non-return valve at the bottom end through which it sucks the air so you don't have to worry that it will suck dust from the inside of the camera back into the unit and blow it back out again.
I'm also using it to blow loose dust off my lenses and other parts of the camera. For slightly more stubborn dust you may need a stronger puff of air - such as from a footpump, but of course you cannot pack a footpump into your camera-bag.
In summary - to get rid of loose and/or bigger dust particles, this is the tool for you. Of course it will not replace your cleaning cloth for lenses or wet cleaning tool for sensors, but you can get rid of a potential 'scratch-threat' by blowing off those larger particles that could cause scratches - before using the physical touch methods of cleaning. Get one - they are cheap and work well.
This thing Blows ! February 8, 2008
I was looking for a simple low cost way to clean the sensor on my Nikon D70s digital camera. I have tried "other" tools and found them to be ok but not great. Some cleaned well but took time to get it right.
Then a Pro showed me the "Rocket" and how easy it is to use. I just had to get one and try it out.
Pro's
1. Its cheap and its a buy once use forever item.
2. It blows ! realy blows the dust away.
3. Very simple and quick to use.
4. It looks cool (it sits on my desk while not in use).
Con's
Nothing I can think of right now.
It will clean dust 99% of the time however it will not clean dust that is realy realy stuck on your lens/sensor. It will also not clean finger prints/smudges. However once you have your sensor nice and clean this should keep it that way for a long time. Its so quick and easy to use I blow just about every day I shoot.
It will even blow dust and stuff off your keyboard, printer and so on. It has many use's.
