Giotto Rocket Air Blowers have earned a pretty good reputation and now I know why. Simply put, this air blower does the job. I initially ordered it to use on photography equipment and found that it does a great job of blowing off dust from lenses and equipment. I couldn't resist trying it out on my abused laptop keyboard, and it did a very good job of removing accumulated dust and debris.
The Rocket Air Blower is well made and looks as though it will hold up for a long time. The large 71/2 inch blower may be a bit large for carrying out in the field, but it certainly has its place for use at home or in a studio. I will probably order a medium size unit for carrying around on hikes and when playing "tourist".
I haven't seen any other blower that would be better, so the Giotto Rocket Air Blower gets my 5 star rating!

I was wondering if I should by the small/medium or the large rocket air blower, and finally decided to go for the largest size. I think that was good. It gives enough air to actually be effective as a duster when I use it for my lenses and camera.

Good to have around for blowing the dust off of your equipment and prepare it for cleaning. Too big to keep in your bag in my opinion, if you want to carry with you get the smaller size. I use this one to clean my gear at home between outings and the large size is nice.

I always thought that as long as you use soft lens cleaning cloth your glass will be nice and clean.
Well I recently found out that it's not so. After closer inspection I noticed swirl marks which totally surprised me. Long story short I found that no matter how soft the cloth may be there are always particles of dust stuck to the surface of the lens that potentially can scratch your precious glass. So blow the dust away with your blower by energetically quizzing the bulb a few times and then you can finish it off with a lens cloth.

We it said "Large" I didn't really know how large it was going to be. Yes it does say 7.5", but until I saw it in my hand, it was hard for me to visualize it. I almost didn't have enough room in my camera bag to fit this, but I got it. It works really good. With such a big bulb, it blows a lot of air.

Comments about Giottos Rocket Air Blower - (Large) 7.5":
Be honest, the rocket blaster is a very simple and easy to use tool. The good thing is that it is very effective to blow the dust on my D90. Initially I was really worried about the dust on my camera, but Rocket Air Blower is a great product. The only issue I see is it is little bit bulky to put in my camera bag. But since I need to use it once in a while I am not worried about that so I keep it my home. I think the big Blower is most effective than smaller one since its air is very powerful.

This "Thingy" does what it says it will do. As long as you keep it away from your nose and ears and your girlfriend's ears as you will get the stink eye. But it's a lot of fun with my puppy. It's fun to use, even if it does feel like i am taking my blood pressure every time i use it. The air pressure is pretty good. A firm grip while rapidly squeezing will attain the best pressure. The quick fill valve works fine. Sometimes while rapidly squeezing it, the nozzle can move away from the target. An adjustment of your grip will fix that. Viola!! The dust is gone. I would get the larger size. Well worth the [$]

I've been using this product for a couple of weeks now, and all I can say is that it performs its function perfectly. It refills completely in less than a second, so it very quickly clears the dust away from my lenses. I'm glad I got the large size. It's really not that bulky. Unless you're traveling with a very small bag, I see no need to get a smaller size.
I remember one reviewer mentioning that some sort of residue was left on his/her hands after using, but I have not had this problem.

This is a great product! Very versatile. Primary use is my Canon 7D but I've also found other great uses with this product. I use it to blow dust from ALL my electronics without damage.
Really a great buy. Can't go wrong getting this. Siz is perfect. Fits in easily in the palm of your hands.

Comments about Giottos Rocket Air Blower - (Large) 7.5":
I use it all most everytime I remove my lens cap, to blow away those loose dust particals that aways seem to be there. But the Rocket Air Blower has many uses beyond lens dust. Warning: buy or make a lanyard. It has holes in two fins for a lanyard. Very use full for not losing it. And yes I have lost them. I have a rocket blower with me all the time in the gear bag. I use it a lot to blow dust of my eye glasses.

I purchased the Giotto Rocket Air Blaster primarily for cleaning my lenses. However, I've found great use for this simply through blowing dust away from all my electronics as well!
Great product. Really can't go wrong by purchasing this. Fits great in the hands and works well!

Would give it ten stars if I could. This is an amazing piece of gear. Can't believe I went so many years without having one. Powerful. Clean. Portable. Won't wear out. So quick and easy to make sure dust is no longer an issue on a shoot. My gear has never been so clean.

This thing is a monster. It does the job though. Perhaps not quite as "powerful" as I thought it would be but overall I really have no complaints.

My friends recommended I purchase this ages ago but never got around to actually ordering one until a few weeks ago. Glad I did, and best [$] I ever spent. If you are using a lenspen this is a must. I ruined a few filters from using the lenspen without using an air blower to remove dust first (dust/dirt gets dragged around the glass by the lenspen. I actually haven't used my lenspen since this product arrived. Cons... it is big. not huge, but big enough that you'll need to allocate some space in your pack for it. Pros... it gets the job done very very well.

This is surprisingly a really useful product. I use it to clean my laptops as well as the external parts of my camera bodies, lenses and video gear. Gasket in back helps keep airflow consistent and "recharges" quickly. I only use gas dusters now for the really heavy cleaning, as this works for 95% of what I need to clean. This is safer (no moisture issues), and definitely more economical. I highly recommend.
