This Thing Blows - Nitecore Blowerbaby BB2 Review

THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS REVIEW GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER. Like a good Spiderman movie, soon after Nitecore released their first Blowerbaby, the BB2 seemed like it was already on its way. But with great wind speed comes great responsibility. Let's see how it pans out.

If you want to pick one up:

Nitecore just released the BB21; was an impulse buy and got it; will still keep my Giottos Rocket Air Blower

Must be very powerful, I mean it blew this guys wig off 😂

Held off for like a year and a half till my supply of cheap Microcenter air cans (don’t use on cameras) ran out. Neat to see they released more models at different price points. Anything I blasted that duster at this can theoretically replace but it can also go low for sensitive camera gear so sounds like a deal.

I can easily see people being amazed by mini leaf blower. I’ve had people more interested in the buckle on my bag than the cars worth of camera gear in my hands lol.

Thank you taking the time to make the video. I would have appreciated more if it was only 5 mins…

The issue is that the most pressing use would be for the sensor. So is it really not recommended for that? Would it blow more dust into a sensor? How abrasive is the brush?

[konkelkent]

This is one of those products that is all about how you market it, i see so many different use cases with it. Besides only blowing camera dust etc. Out climbing to clean rock, computer/desk etc. Its a hard one to market for sure.

[mr_cramberry]

It's better they produced a portable device with suction attached to a soft lining which camera technicians actually use. Instead of blowing debris from surrounding area into the camera

Picked one up (BB2), Black Friday sale.

Best review on the BB2. Not sure why no one else addresses the elephant in the room: the price. It’s expensive. But to your point, it can just be really convenient when you just need to carry one item to clean.

Have you tried it on your sensor and what setting did you use?

[Iskhakoff]

can it be used as a portable fan for hair for photoshoots?

[SJZ]

is that a plastic hard brush at the top? O.O probably shouldnt use that on the sensor? might scratch or do some serious damage to the sensor eh?

[chemicallust]

I have the CW20 and the power is completely absurd...lol

[BlairAir]

"Do not use without filter" as you immediately press the trigger (before you technically finished the sentence telling you NOT to do what you are doing. I want your tests of all the gear I care about. Most impressive? You were so stealthy about the move, doing it, but not commenting on what you were obviously doing. Yep. You are my tester. Now, can we get a Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut out to this guy?

[ArvinG]

Can you compare it to those turbine blowers.

[psyfertech]

wonder if the designer played death stranding

[Richie]

I don’t know if I’d want to blow that much airflow onto my sensor..😎

[steve_arcenio]

Great you just made me order this product for some odd reason 😂. You’re bad influence I’m blame you.

[offroadrover]

$205 in Australia. Not for that price I'm afraid

[Partyfreaker]

Wouldn't the air pressure blow dust further into the camera?

[orsoncart]

But how long do the batteries last! come on do a proper review!
