Giottos GTAA1900 Rocket Air Blower - Black

This is an excellent product in my opinion. I originally bought a small grey 'puffer' style blower (with a brush on the end) from a local photographic shop, with the aim of removing a couple of small hairs that had managed to find their way into the mirror mechanism of my digital SLR. Rather than clearing away the hairs, the 'puffer' actually deposited yet more hairs from its brush. The small 'puffer' was absolutely useless. On looking through the Internet, I came across the Giottos Rocket Air Blower which I thought I would try. The product delivers a good, strong puff of air, which is still gentle enough to remove hair/dust from the inside mechanism of my camera. It worked first time and all of the hair (and brush hairs that the inferior puffer had deposited) were gone. The Giottos product was definitely worth the money. In terms of its build quality, the product is built using strong, thick (but obviously flexible) black rubber. The air nozzle at the top is red rigid ABS plastic with a small hole through which the air is delivered. It can deliver both a gentle or strong puff of air, dependent on how hard you squeeze the body of the blower. In terms of application, according to the packaging, it can be used for computer and communication equipment, traditional and electrical musical instruments and photo, video and precision optical equipment. The packaging says 'Not recommended for CCD sensor cleaning'. Overall, a good, solid product and money well spent in my opinion.

Before I bought the rocket blower I had a gradual build up of dust inside my camera body and was on the verge of getting it professionally cleaned. The first time I used this it cleared the dust from the camera body within two to three blows - although I have read the glowing reviews I just wasn't prepared for how efficient this thing is. Don't bother with less powerful blowers and never let a blower with a brush attached near the inside of your camera unless you want to see more dust and crap in there than you had before. The rocket blower is the best, because it is very powerful and won't introduce more dust. It is quite a big beast and will take up a large amount of space in your camera bag, so wether or not you consider this portable will depend on you and the nature of your shoot. Just be warned that this blower, even with the nozzle removed, will take up a similar amount of space as a Nikon kit lens. Unlike a lens it can be squished, but you get the picture. When storing at home, the rocket blower was designed to stand upright on its fins but mine lives in either a bag or (clean, non dusty) drawer. I'll use the rocket blower after any shoot where I've changed lenses, on both lens and camera body. I reckon this will put off the inevitable professional deep clean and all the attendant cost and trouble for quite a bit longer. Plus no-one wants to spend ages sat cloning out dust spots so if you want to save time in post production this is for you.

I've tried a few air blowers for my camera in the past, and after finally getting the Giottos I wish I hadn't. This is just top quality and works perfectly. It's very well constructed, with no areas of weakness, the seals around the air shoot and back air intake are very well put together. The back air intake is such a clever idea, as it eliminates the chance of a back flow when the rocket is refilling with air, and as the main shoot is small for precise application, the back intake is larger, so it refills with air in a split second. The rubber is excellent quality and thick, it emits a powerful blast of air, good enough to dislodge most bits of dust on your camera lens or sensor, unless stuck fast. It's also great for my MacBook, which seems to collect dust even when the lid is closed. I'd guess that this would be a great impromptu cooling aid in a hot office too! All in all, it took a while to get to this, but I'm so glad I finally did.

This is a quality air blower from Giottos in there iconic rocket shape. Make sure you buy direct from amazon or you may get a fake like some 1 star reviews may have. This is a nice thing to have in your cleaning ket, it does let a fair amount of air out and it got rid of the dust from inside my camera no problem. The only thing I’m not that happy with is the size because it’s 8 inches long it takes a bit of room up in my backpack and some people may find it difficult in a smaller backpack 🎒This is a great addition to anybody’s setup and well worth the price.

Great little blower that exceeds expectations. Sized to fit into a large hand, but could be squeezed equally well in a small hand, this blower gives a short blast of air capable of clearing debris from difficult to reach corners. Works well on keyboards, circuit boards and cameras, I bought this one for clearing the jet on a camper fridge that is prone to block. Well made, sturdy construction that feels like it will last. The one way valve works well for rapid re-inflation so that the bellows inflate immediatley upon release and do not leak when squeezed.

Basically, this air blower works amazingly well, and blows off any tiny particles of dust meaning you don't have to rub it with microfiber or a lens cleaning pen and risk removing that delicate crystal coating. You should buy this alongside the aforementioned microfiber cloth and lens cleaning pen for ultimate cleaning, use this 99% of the time for dust particles, use the microfiber cloth for "light" smudges, and only use the pen in cases of extreme smudges such as fingerprints. / 10/10 for this product, amazing for the price and a MUST HAVE for every photographers bag, and I mean this, if you (like me) are sitting there thinking "Do I really need this?" let me answer your question for you now. Yes. You do. This is essential gear, and I highly recommend you buy it early on. Superb quality at an affordable price.

Good strong air stream and long nozzle. Used it to clean sensor, mirror and AF sensor on my DLSR and there was a great improvement to its focusing - no need for any wet cleaning.

O melhor fucfuc para limpar as lentes e câmeras. Excelente e além de tudo é robusto e parece que vai durar um bom tempo!

Einsatzbereich: Persönlich verwende ich den "Super Rocket-air Blower" zum Reinigen der Tastatur und des Gehäuseinneren des PCs. Vor allem dient er dazu da, die Kühlerlamellen von Staub zu befreien. Das ist bei meinem Gehäuse immer ein Problem, denn der Rechner befindet sich auf dem Dachboden. Da es immer im Sommer unangenehm warm wird, habe ich zur Vermeidung von Hitzeproblemen mehrere Lüfter verbaut. Dementsprechend viel Staub wird auch angesaugt. Bisher verwendete ich immer Druckluftdosen, da ich aber den Rechner mehrmals im Jahr reinige, ist die "Super Rocket" auf lange Sicht einfach preigünstiger. Zudem ist der Bereich der von der Druckluft "erfasst" wird, größer als bei den Dosen. Eigenschaften und Handling: Die Rakete passt gut in die Hand (normalgroße Hände) und lässt sich auch gut zusammendrücken. Der Druck der erzeugt wird, reicht zumindest für meine oben beschriebenen Belange aus. Der Staub wird gut entfernt. Die Spitze ist ca. 5 cm lang, etwas länger (vielleicht 1 cm oder 2 cm) wäre vielleicht ein klein wenig besser gewesen. Auch Alternativspitzen wären eine Überlegung. Soweit ich weiß ist die Spitze abnehmbar, allerdings habe ich es selbst noch nicht probiert. Kann es auch im Moment nicht, die Rakete ist bei einem Freund, der sie gerade selbst ausprobiert. Das einzige worauf man etwas Acht geben sollte ist die "Bewegung". Da man die Rakete zusammendrücken muss um die Druckluft zu erzeugen, wird sie unweigerlich bewegt, zumindest die Spitze. Je nachdem wie gut man es selbst beherrscht mal mehr mal weniger. Das kann dazu führen, dass man gegen den Kühler stößt. Ist jetzt nichts weltbewegendes. Man sollte nur aufpassen nicht mit der Hand oder dem Arm "auszurutschen" und dann somit zu stark gegen den Kühler zu stoßen, das ist immer eine Belastung. Fazit: Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Rakete. Die einzigen zwei Kritikpunkte (Länge & Bewegung), sind für mich nichts weltbewegendes, denn ich kann trotzdem problemlos mein Gehäuse von Staub befreien. Von daher 5 von 5 Punkten. Und ja, wenn man möchte, kann man sie sich auch auf den Tisch stellen :)
