The medium size was just perfect. Not too big & not too small.It provides an adequate blast of air per pump. (though I imagine the larger sized one can blast harder)I use the medium Rocket Air Blower to blow away dust from my camera's sensor.When doing so, just make sure to point the camera downwards so the dislodged particles don't settle back into the camera.For added stability, you can mount the camera to a tripod that points downwards before you start cleaning. (that way both hands are free)Another good thing is the stability of the red pointing nozzle. It doesn't wobble wildly everytime you pump. Though there can still be some movement, proper handholding of the pump using even pressure pretty much guarantees the nozzle stays aimed where you want it to.At just [$] bucks, this is a great buy.

I use this to clean dust off the sensor of my Canon 5D. I purchased the medium size on the recommendation of a customer review based on its
convenient size for a camera bag. The blower's design is fine but the medium doesn't generate a powerful enough air stream. I imagine
the large would do the job better and couldn't possibly take up that much more room in a camera bag!

Nikon D70 with multiple "spots" in my pictures...Fortunately all I needed was the Rocket Air Blower to clean up the issues. Easy to use, safe inexpensive when compared to the cost of
a) my SLR
b) taking in for cleaning

I have bought several of these over the years and they are extremely useful, not just for blowing dust out of mirror boxes/off sensors but also for drying filters after washing and anytime you need a controllable stream of air. Small and light enough to add to a backpack for hiking to blow the dust off the camera before changing lenses (or film)

And that is, blow dust out of your lens and camera body.
It's slightly on the large side but because of it's large size, holds a good amount of air. This reduces the amount of times you need to squeeze the bulb.
In my experience, the more times you need to squeeze the bulb, the less consistent the stream of air and more chances of missing a spot.

I primarily use this handy gadget to clean the dust from my camera lenses. It puffs out just enough air to gently blow the dust particles away: It works great, and it's an easy fit for my camera bag. It also works well for cleaning dust from keyboards. Now that I own one, I can't imagine being without it.

I tried using any thing that moved air to clean dust out from my sensor and lenses, and nothing seemed to work. Three puffs from the rocket blower, and the sensor was as clean as the day I purchased the camera. Totally unbelievable item and price. By far, one of the best value items I've ever purchased. Any photographer should have one.

Use this to blow dust and sand particles from lense of my AX2000E before wiping it with cloth. It gives wind strong enough to blow out all dust. If you wipe the lense only with cloth, hard sand particles can scratch your lenses or filter. Perfect solution if you want to keep your lenses or filter clean.

The Rocket Air Blower by Giottos is fantastic. It delivers a strong targeted blast of air and is great for cleaning my camera gear (lenses, sensors, accessories).
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good blower.

A very nice product for cleaning dust off of anything (as long as it's not too big). The "rocket" design allows it to be placed standing up, which is a nice touch and really useful feature in daily use.
The nozzle can be removed for cleaning.

I use the product to blow air off my lenses and in the sensor. It works well because it takes air from the back and does not s uck dust up into it. Cute design as well....fins prevent the rocket from rolling off the table lol

This is a simple tool that works as advertised. The airstream is quite powerful and easily focused.
I use it whenever I remove a lens from a body.
I prefer this to the chemical-based, compressed "air" canisters, as there's no chance of the non-gaseous (i.e. liquid) chemical accidentally condensing on your equipment.

I have tried several different sensor cleaners and none of them work. A friend of mine brought this in and it removed dust that had been on my sensor for months. It is small enough to pack in a bag and so simple you can use it while out shooting if needed. It is great.

I own one of the larger models of this item. So, I already knew how great it was. My main reason for buying it was to have one that was smaller to keep in my camera bag when traveling. Works great and highly recommended.

Use for a quick lens dust off, product shot or an occasional sensor cleaning, I like that it seems to have a one-way valve to keep air going in one direction. I dislike that the red tube seems to come out a little too easy.

This medium size generates a good blast of air but is much better sized for carry in the field. Blowing dust off the lens, around the gotcha places on the camera and even keeping the crumbs off my small laptop. Perfect and durable. Good value.
