- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2012I already have the Giottos AA1900 Rocket Air Blaster Large - Black, and it is awesome but too big to carry in small bags. I bought this kit mostly because of the small rocket blaster but surprisingly found many uses for the cotton swabs. In addition, having extra micro fiber cloth is a plus, and the solution seems to be safe. Since I blast most of the dirt with the blower, I didn't find many uses for the brush.
The next best thing in this kit, aside from rocket blaster, is the cotton swabs or Q-Tips. I wished there were more in the package. They are pointy in one end and round in the other. I especially use the pointy head on the edges of filters and lenses, and they do wonder. Combine them with some blasts from the rocket blaster, and you will have a clean lint-free lens or filter. The swab's round end is nothing special, and they are the same as any normal Q-Tips.
Overall, this is a very nice kit and a nice addition to the already perfect Giotto's 1900. The rocket blower is high quality rubber like other Giotto's products. You won't be disappointed by getting this kit.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2011I bought my DSLR used for dirt cheap and found out why the person probably sold it when I went out to take some photos of a great sunset. There were little tiny pieces of lint on the sensor. I have a camera store nearby who does wet sensor cleaning fairly cheap, but I thought that this would be one I could handle with the right blower. With this blower included in this kit, it only took a few short blasts to clear off my sensor and it worked perfectly! I tried taking photos of both a white wall and a bright sky at all the aperture values and no dust spots were visible.
The cleaning solution also worked well on the lens and the brush seemed to work well at getting most of the dust off before using the solution. I saw a tip in another review that I really thought worked well. Before using the brush, blow some air through the bristles to help give them a bit of a static charge. This seemed to help pick up and hold onto the dust as I used the brush.
The cotton swabs were pretty useless, but I didn't buy this kit for them anyway. If you have a much dirtier camera or sensor, you will probably need something more powerful than this kit. But, if you just have a little bit of annoying dust like I had, this kit can do wonders at a great price.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2013I bought this kit to keep in my camera bag for quick cleaning when out shooting. I have the large rocket blaster that I keep at home (due its much larger size) for more thorough cleanings. The small rocket blaster is great, but you need to squeeze it hard and fast to produce enough air to get stubborn dust off. The brush is fantastic and in my opinion, the best part of the kit. I only wish that it had a cap to cover the brush bristles when not in use. Even when retracted, dust or dirt could possibly get into the bristles. I solved this problem by keeping the kit in a plastic ziplock baggie in my camera bag. The microfiber cloth works just fine. I tossed the cleaning solution and swabs in the kitchen drawer to use for glasses since I never use chemicals to clean any of my camera gear. A great buy for the price.
PROS:
1- Brush is fantastic and works well
2- Rocket blaster is the best way to quickly and safely remove surface dust
3- Size is perfect for quick cleaning when out shooting
CONS:
1- No cap for brush to keep dust out of bristles even when retracted
2- Rocket blaster needs good firm, quick squeeze to work well due to its small size
3- Chemical cleaner (I just don't like them for cleaning camera gear)
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2011Background:
- a novice photographer
- rebel t1i
- 24-70mm f2.8L
- 70-200mm f4
Pro:
The rocket is awesome.
The Q-Tip or whatever its called is decent for getting dirt off small corners the cloth cannot reach.
The brush is neat, its not dirt cheap or flimsy.
I'm not sure what's in the liquid bottle I just use it and it seems ok. It doesn't burn or anything.
Con:
Need more than 1 of those magic cloth.
Need more than half a dozen q-tip.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2021The Giottos rocket blower is ubiquitous in every camera bag. I wanted a smaller travel size unit and searched this out. The brush is also very good, but the end cap fell off mine. A dab of Super Glue fixed it. Other than that, it's great.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2022This kit is a great starting place to keep your glass clean. I especially like the blower - it is perfect to clean out hard to reach areas and sealed elements of lenses all the same. I used one to clean off a new old stock image intensifier tube.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2009I bought this kit just for the rocket blower, which I have seen elsewhere for more than the cost of this entire kit. The blower is great, Giotto is tops for a reason. The rest of the kit is adequate for emergency use, but I have bought better lens cloths, fluid and brushes for serious maintenance. It is what it is, so to give it a 1-star rating is ridiculous and simply makes me doubt the reviewer. I would recommend this to anyone on a budget.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2024I used this on a plastic piece of my camera due to the advertised lack of ammonia and alcohol….and then the back mentions ammonium hydroxide and “alcohols”. This is incredibly misleading and lead to multiple scratches while cleaning my cameras eye sensor. Not a fan. I’ll be avoiding this brand from now on due to misleading advertising.

senraj sReviewed in India on June 29, 20201.0 out of 5 stars Very bad and too much costly
Blower is too small and very uncomfortable to use
Better don't buy this product, the Microsoft cloth is also not of good quality, mere waste of money, they are charging more than 3 times of worth of this product. Brush do have cover which automatically attracts dust particles to it. All put together only with one thousand only
