Einst_Stein Posted August 30 Share #1 Posted August 30 Advertisement (gone after registration) The air ball for blowing air to clean my camera has walking away. I am looking for a replacement. Anyone has experience with electric powered air blower? I found many on Amazon with air power from 110000 to 300000 rpm. How strong would be too strong for camera, paricularly for view finder, focus screen, etc.? Would it introduce dusts that is worse than a rubber air ball? Any suggestion to against the electric blower? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbpost Posted August 30 Share #2 Posted August 30 Occasionally I use a Nitecore BB21 to blow dust particels off the sensor and from lenses (mount and front element). I am quite happy with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtodrick Posted August 31 Share #3 Posted August 31 I've one of these https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BNMCKSN1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 On the low setting it's no more powerful than canned air. Works well in my opinion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einst_Stein Posted September 1 Author Share #5 Posted September 1 Just recevied an elextric blower similar to the one above. Mine has three blow force steps, 100000 rmp, 200000 rpm, and 300000 rpm. The 100000rpm is soft, should be enough for most cases, 200000 rpm is very strong already, should be safe to camera too. 300000 rpm might be too strong. Compared to rbber ball blower, electric blower is persistent and could be stronger. There are some concerns to me: The first is the potential of excess dust. The blower looks like a small air blower. There is a fine net in the back of inlet of the motor, but not fine enough to block tiny dusts. I am looking for a lintfree filter paper to see if it could be helpful. The second is the continuous blowing air. That might push the dusts further into the inside of the camera thus cause more future problems. There is no pulse mode. For this I blower it by wavering the blower, so that it gives time for the dust to fall out of the camera. Yes, the camera opening is facing down. The third is whether the blowing air has electric static charge, given the potential electric charge on the electric fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
