Small desktop vacuum pump

I tried to Google this in the US but can’t locate a small cube shaped vacuum pump that thin latex tubing can be attached to suck out dust from the camera near the sensor.

 

The video (I wish I still had the link) showed the person explaining that this was easy to get in Europe for about 200 euros or so. He seemed to activate it via a foot switch.

 

Can any one from Europe provide some sources?

May I ask why cube-shaped?

[ymc226]

It seemed compact and maybe would provide a clue as to its maker.

It must be this one

Thanks local hero. I don’t think that’s it as it is too large. Ithe one I saw was very dark blue to black and I estimate about 9 inches on each side.

Good detective work! I am not confident in the OP's requisites. If his application is for cameras, a modest battery powered unit with options for various sized vacuum tips, including tubes, seems better. I am reluctant to recommend because he may not know what is really best and he might be disappointed.

It does! How interesting. It is something a micro-mechanic could keep on the bench. It is now on my wish list.

 

Thanks for that.

It is just 45 Euro’s ( 60 Dollars)!!

Cheap enough to explore the quality and shipment to the USA from Germany won’t break the bank.

It is only 180x135x135 mm.

It is an accessory for soldering equipment

Thanks AndreasAM,

 

It's even cheaper in the USA from Amazon.  $45 with Prime delivery.  I think I will give it a try.

Reviews indicate it is not for general use. Good for soldering sucking - maybe.

Solder suckers take a quick gulp of air when you press the switch.

When I bought my M10 in Wetzlar I was suggested to use this one to suck dust in the area around the sensor, lens mounts, etc

Much more expensive ...

Oi! I just bought a super-sucking mini-vacuum with a few tips and it has a collection bag to capture the debris.

 

Google "ecola vacuum"

Aren't machines like that overkill? The Green Clean Mini Vacuum does the job perfectly. And will work without external power.

The one I mentioned is cordless and is smaller than the can of air shown in your link.

I don’t see any US distribution partner.
