The stronger, bigger Rocket Blower is unhandy for my belt pack or pocket, but camera surfaces need cleaning outdoors even more often, and wiping lenses or filters is even more dangerous outdoors. The somewhat weaker stream of the smaller, easier to pack small blower is adequate -- just takes a little longer to get the last specks sometimes. Given that a Rocket Blower is essential to keep with photographic equipment at all times, this one fills the outdoor niche.

I bought this blower mainly for removing sensor dusts. I must have some stubborn dusts that sticked to my sensor. After blowing it four times I still have not removed most of the dusts. Also, I think it is best to use this blower with two hands: one hand to hold and aim the blower tube, while use the other hand to squeeze the bulb. If you plan on using this device just to blow off dust on a lens, then it functions as advertised.

      Comments about Giottos Rocket Air Blower - (Small) 5.3":

      Takes up less precious space in a camera bag, and seems perfectly adequate for the field. I'm not sure why the fins were retained in this version since it probably would not be set down on a flat surface when not in use. Also, an intake filter might be a good addition since in the field it seems more likely to inhale dust.

            I like this product a lot. Get's all the dust off my lenses and sensor between the real cleanings of the camera. Small enough to fit in my bag but blows a good amount of air.

              Bought this and never regretted it! This is good for someone who is starting and those who doesn't have enough room in their camera bag. Very useful in taking off dust off your camera.

                  It's cute and does a pretty good job blowing the dust away. I like that the air intake is from the back, so all the dust you're blowing away stays away!
                  Very durable.
                  I wish it had a little more gust, which I suppose the medium and large versions have. You most likely will need to supplement with a microfiber cleaning cloth.

                  I bought the large and the small. It is great to buy both. Large for home use and small for travel. If I had to buy just one. I would recommend buying the small one. Still very powerful. Works almost as good as the large and much more portable.

                    This blower is powerful, light and effective. I carry it in my bag at all times. The size is very convenient--thought the base is a little wide, when not in use it makes effective bag padding near a lens in a pouch...

                      I've had long running battles the streaks and spatter from compress air. This puts out puffs strong enough to knock off the loose stragglers and never runs out.

                        I debated between which size to get. If you are traveling, get the small because it is more than enough and it won't take too much space in your camera bag. If you plan to clean your lenses at home get the medium or large since they are more powerful. I like the design of this product!

                              Great little blower.

                              once you get the hang of squeezing hard and fast, you get a good burst of air.

                              it is the small blower so you will not get the biggest blast of air from it.

                                Great for any photographer, but especially for someone who's on the go. Not too big so it doesn't take up much room in my case. I know the bigger you buy these the less money they run, but this is a good middle ground.

                                  Easy to use, and very helpful when you take your photos and need to change the lens and need to clean.
                                  I`ve also bought the spray cleaner (sorry, I forgot the name) that is very useful when you have enough time to clean your equipment.
                                  I do recomend 100%
