The inlet valve prevents back flow from the air tube.

Essential Purchase For Your Camera
Been using the 'Rocket Air Blower' now for a few weeks and it's absolutely superb!

It completely blows all traditional blower brushes out of the water. The concentrated blast is extremely effective at shifting even the smallest of particles from lenses, mirrors and focus screens.

If you change lenses a lot, you know dust will build up over time inside the camera. Considering how cheap this product is, it will more than pay for itself after a few goes.

Using this blower is a lot less hassle than using swabs and/or solutions to keep sensitive parts of your camera clean. Yes, if you have let gunk build up inside your camera such as on the sensor, then cleaning with swabs might be the only option, but this blower really does help keep your camera clean inside and out.

This is an excellent product. You will not be disappointed.

Very handy
This is a great alternative to having to wipe your lens with a microfibre cloth, which I prefer not to do unless I absolutely have to (cos I'm a ruddy paranoid!).

It isn't 100% effective, but it's near enough. There was one large piece of dust on the lens that had been there for a number of days that wouldn't budge even with a close strong squeeze - but since using this after every shooting session I haven't had any dust that I couldn't dislodge, so it doesn't lose any stars. Great buy!

Looks Stupid, Works Brilliantly
I am one of those paranoid types who constantly worries about my camera gear. I have UV filters on my lenses to protect them from scratches and I bought one of these air blowers to keep dust out from the sensor on my camera.

It is such a useful accesory. The blast of air from the nozzle is concentrated and powerful. I use it to give the rear element of my lenses a quick blast when changing lens and also to clear out the camera itself.

I have to say it does a brilliant job of clearing out debris such as dust and fluff, it really dislodges the particles and keeps everything nice and clean.

A simple but effective design that will last for many years and provide a great service for the minimal outlay.

I would say that this is an absolutely essential purchase for anybody who has a DSLR.

Blow it!!!
What a great air blower. I have been using Canned Air for years - expensive comes in a aluminum can and can't really be used on a digital sensor as it has cooling effects and can cause condensation. However, this is green and a great way to clean your lens and sensor. it gives a great air blow when squeezed and I have yet to not be able to dislodge dust from my camera.

Its a great price and any serious photographer, amateur or professional must have one in his camera bag. Also great for cleaning the keyboard of your computer!!!

Buyer Beware!
I'm afraid I'm breaking my own rule about 'reviews that don't review the product', but this is a warning for potential buyers - check out the P&P rates. At time of writing, the various suppliers charge anything between £4.50 and £10 (YES - ten pounds!) for postage and packing - on top of the product price!! How on earth do they justify that? I guess the answer is that they don't, they just hope they can get away with ripping you off! Caveat Emptor, indeed.
I've given 4 stars in order not to 'bring down the product'. It may be fine; I'll never know...
