Cleaning your PENTAX sensor with a blower. Does the blower matter?

In this short video, we take a look at an El-Cheapo "bulb" style blower vs a VSGO filtered Blower. Is there a difference? Does it matter? Even though they do push out similar volumes of air, the VSGO blower has better directional stability and since it has a filter, the air is also cleaner (less dust and debris). Also, the VSGO has a silicone tip/nozzle so you won't scratch your sensor in case you make contact. So, to me, yes, there are differences that explain the higher pricing.

I have seen your sensor. You need a shop vac! lol

[@KobieMC]

😂😂😂😂 Ya, I probably do lol

[@barryhiggott9458]

I have to wonder if the filter is self defeating in that dust drawn into it could well be blown straight back out albeit in smaller volumes.

[@KobieMC]

I had that thought too. Supposedly it has a one way valve to prevent that from happening and an actual mesh filter to keep debris from being pushed out. All I know is that cleaning the sensor is so much faster with it.

Use the hair dryer blower, it is most effective..

[@StevenBrener]

Seriously?

[@KobieMC]

He's not being serious. Don't worry.

Nitecore has an electric blower for cameras. BlowerBaby. haven't checked any reviewers yet. thought I should check a bit before I buy one.

[@KobieMC]

The only thing with electric blowers is the byproduct of static. Static electricity would attract small particles. Maybe they found a way around it. I'll check it out as well seeing as I've never heard of it before.

​@@KobieMCand the need for batteries. As well more to go wrong. Heavier. Not waterproof, it's over complicating a simple tool.

[@KobieMC]

No need for batteries, lithium ion pack is built in. I wouldn't be cleaning sensors etc in the rain so not being waterproof wouldn't matter to me. It's a pretty simple device but I hear you. It is more complicated than just a bulb blower (which I also have). Having a device with both a brush and forced air does come in handy for stubborn particles. Sometimes a bulb blower on its own just doesn't cut it.
