Which Rocket Blower?

Sensor dust is driving me crazy! I have a small blower purchased from my local camera store but I've heard that the Giottos blowers are the best. I see there are two types. One looks like a finned cannonball and the other is more elongated. Which one moves more air or develops higher pressure? Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

I think the most popular one around here is the finned football/rugby ball looking one (the elongated one).

Not the round one, not the one with the tiltable blower.

Thanks, Matt

This one works great.

Giottos rocket blowers come in several sizes and shapes...the large size is best for use at home...and thesmall size is perfect for slipping in a camera bag or a vest pocket. Both provide a decent stream of air and are ample for all your dust removal chores. There is only a dollar difference in price.

I love this blower. It does an excellent job. Go buy one, and be happy

I agree, the Giottos are the best. I just need to get a smaller one. The one I have (medium I think) takes up too much space in my pack.

i have the large one and it works great. if you want to take it with you, then get a small one. the large one takes up like a whole pocket in my bag lol

Just go ahead and order the large for home and the small for the camera bag. You'll eventually get both anyway.

The best IMO is the Large Rocket Blower. I had the small and medium and just wasnt pleased.

He speaks the truth. I use the medium (takes up less space in my bag) and it often takes quite a few puffs to clear the dust bunnies out; plus I sometimes need too put it closer to the sensor than I otherwise care to.. The large, if space isn't a concern, simply requires less puffing.

Exactly....there is very little difference in the force of the air coming from them...the large just offers a touch more volume...the small one is fine for the field....

Thanks for the helpful advice, everyone. I'm going with both sizes. Some great tips here.
