I enjoy the ability to direct the air through an adjustable nozzle. It is slightly easier to operate in the field than the big Rocket or the little Rocket. Does a fine job and just feels more ergonomically friendly.

Disappointing...
The air inlet valve does not really work. It only works when you block the nozzle mouth, otherwise it still s**ks in what it blows out through the air nozzle and sounds like...Read complete review

Comments about Giottos Q Ball Air Blower:
It does what it is suppose to. I use it to blow out my camera. The ability to adjust the angle of the tip is nice. The only problem is that it might be hard for some one with small hands to use.

This blower is a reasonable size, produces a good blast of air and doesn't roll around because it has feet! No faults that I can find.

I use this blower for sensor cleaning only. The adjustable tip is a great aide and the air that comes from it's compact size is hard to beat

Comments about Giottos Q Ball Air Blower:
Powerful enough to remove must dust from inside a camera, but not so forceful that it scratches the sensor. It worked better than compressed air for me and was right around the same price. Great product and a must-buy for anyone who wants to remove most of the dust from their sensor without sending the camera in.

Comments about Giottos Q Ball Air Blower:
Definitely better than spending money on canned air. I only rate it 4 stars instead of 5 because it does not blow the amount of air that I thought it would, but it is still very useful for cleaning dust off lenses and such. For really stubborn or heavy dust build up, canned air may still be needed. It is a little bulky to keep in a camera bag, so I keep it at home to clean items between outings. It does seem to be a very well made, quality product and certainly worth it's modest cost.

Comments about Giottos Q Ball Air Blower:
The Q-Ball works great for anyone who needs to remove dust from their slides before scanning. Often times I use a light slide brush to remove any particles that might be stuck, then a half dozen or so sprays of air from the Q-Ball to remove all the dust particles. The result is a good clean scan that means less time dusting in PS. I can't recommend the usage of this product for anything else because this is all I use it for. [*]

Comments about Giottos Q Ball Air Blower:
The other day I noticed a large dust spot showing up on photos taken of our new employees with my 40D. I tried to clear it by selecting the 'manual cleaning' option in the menu for the ultrasonic cleaner, no joy. The thought of monkeying around with the sensor was horrifying to me, but the prospect of being seperated from $100 or so for a professional cleaning was just a little worse, so... I did my homework with regards to technique (hold camera with open front pointing down, etc.) and used the Q-Ball. It worked like a charm, first time. Money well spent.

Comments about Giottos Q Ball Air Blower:
This is a really powerful dust blower. It is a little big and takes up space in the camera bag, but to get the large volume of air it has to be big. It is great for lenses and sensors and anything else that needs dust blown off. It can handle anything.

Comments about Giottos Q Ball Air Blower:
The Q ball is the perfect size for my camera bag. The blower is stong enough to clean dust off of my lenses and my interal camera components. I also use it to clean my netbook keyboard which I use when I'm on trips with my camera. The adjustable nozzle is a useful modification of the blower and the feet keep the ball from rolling away. Great product!

This air blower was purchased for use on a trip (and because my Canon 5D sensor gets progressively dirty despite not changing the lens). The air blower's size is convenient, easy to pack and transport, and it worked effectively.

Lots of concentrated power. I use it to get dust of the lens as well as to dislodge dust on the sensor.
Comments about Giottos Q Ball Air Blower:
It blows air and it does it well. Pretty simple product really. It's rubber and it has an Italian name so that's a winning combination certainly. It also has cute little feet.
