The Giottos Rocket Air Blower is made from a silica gel, it is very powerful and refills quickly.
The Rocket Air Blower has an air valve to prevent it from breathing in dust. It blows out a powerful stream of air to blow dust away and to make cleaning lenses, cameras and filters a breeze.

I used to think that a blower is a blower, but I must admit the Large Rocket from Giottos is a step above the rest. The airstream it puts out is focused and strong, and it is supposedly filtered (the rear-end air intake hole apparently has a filter so you don't end up blowing dirty air into your camera). But the fins that give it the rocket shape are actually quite useful; they allow you to sit it upended on a shelf so the tip remains clean. There are even holes in the fins for the looping in of a lanyard for those inclined to carry this around their neck. I'm not sure it has as much panache as a director's loupe, but it certainly would be different.

adequate, but...
not as much blow power as I had hoped. Maybe I can't squeeze hard enough. It's great for scaring the dog, though.

The Rocket Air Blower provides a clean blast of air without the residuals from canned air. The blower fits the hand comfortably and is easy to use. Occassionaly I need to open my pocket camera and blow dust off the sensor. It does the job!
Highly recommended.

NO , it really moves a good amount of air !
( sorry I just had to do that in the title .. )
Can't beat the price. I have a similar one that just isn't that good, and the fins are great to keep it from rolling around

I was warned not to use canned air as it has the potential to leave behind a residue due to the propellents used. This rocket blower takes all the worry out of dusting chores and it provides a powerful blast of air to boot.

Crazy isn't it... it looks goofy but works really well. Much better than the cheapo squeeze blower/brush I had.

NO MORE STAINING YOUR LENS WITH THE CANNED AIR WHICH IS NOT AIR AT ALL. THIS WORKS GREAT AND IS USED BY LENS RENTAL COMPANIES DAY IN AND DAY OUT.

Great product..Really glad I went with the "Large". Doesn't really take up much room in the bag and works great.

I use this blower a lot because it moves a lot more air than my Zeeion.
What can you say about a blower other than that. It blows. Big volume, big bulb. Great value for the money.

This product exceeded my expectations! Fits the hand perfectly, cleans cameras, keyboards, anything electronic where freon propellants are undesirable.

It's large & puts out a lot of air. That's just what you want. If you don't mind the large size (which might be tough to travel with), I doubt you could do better.

I have a few other air blowers, but could not get all the dust off. Went to a photo seminar and say this blower, I tried it out and was hooked. It works great on my lens and my camera. Fantastic product!!!

very useful in getting loose dust off the negative or 4x5 film holder
best when used as the last step to cleaning negatives:
1) pec 12, 2) anti-static cloth, 3) rocket air blower

Get that dust away from your rear lens elements. Also with the camera body, with the body cap off and mirror box facing the ground, blow "up" and let gravity do the rest with that pesky dust.

Great lens air blower. I have gotten this item before and was so impressed I got another for my other kit. The nozzle doesn't fall to the side when the rocket is squeezed like with other blowers causing you to miss the lens. This rocket blower blows the air where you want it and doesn't waste time. In the world of photography that is a must.

Powerful, lots of air, good for lots of usages, rocket look is a clever design allowing it to stand and not roll off onto the floor. I have the 7.5" model which is a challenge to pack in my camera bag but it's worth it.
