Air Force Band Instruments

This blower pushes air with the force of a rocket. It will clean the dust off of the moon if you need it too.

... Used it today to take pictures of Air Force Thunderbirds at AFA Graduation. Took the haze right out!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cheaper then buying it on the Air Force base near us!

I live on the Air Force Academy, at the base of the front range and Pike National Forest. I generally hike about 1500 miles a year. The capture clip along with peak designs shell allows me perfect access, for the quick shot. Capture's design and absolute precision engineering and machining gives me peace of mind when hanging an expensive camera as I bushwhack through canyons. It really is a well designed, well executed, welcome part of my gear.

Bought this for our son traveling to Air Force basic military training. Perfect size, weight, capacity, durability, and styling. Price seemed fair compared to others we found but upon receipt we feel the price was good value for product. We would buy it again.

I was familiar with Pelican's products, having used them in the Air Force. I bought this case for my new Nexstar 6SE telescope. The foam is partially precut in squares that I could remove easily yet the remaining foam holds in place very well. If you spend big bucks on a telescope or other delicate instruments/electronics, you should buy one of these to protect it.

The Giottos Q Ball air blower may have slightly less force than the full-sized Giottos Rocket, but it fits well in a smaller camera bag because the blower is shorter and the nozzle tilts. I blow off any specks of dust on the camera lens or rear glass every time I change lenses. The Giottos products are top quality and not really overpriced. Plus they stand up on their legs, which is not essential but is pretty clever.

Maybe a few years back the QC lipped on these, but the one I own is just fine. First used one in the '70s in an Air Force photo hobby lab and it was fine, except keeping the blades orthogonal was a challenge. One I bought in 1984 has been a dream.

OK now this is a complete noob review. I recently went to the National Air Force Museum in Dayton and took a bunch of photos with my s21u, and they turned out great. But I wanted to step it up a notch. This camera does that and then some. I paired it with a gmaster prime lense for night time, wide, and video, and a Tamron 70-300 for longer shots. Neither disappoint. One complaint is that some of the settings I need to change fairly often are not programmable to the custom buttons but I may not have figured it out yet. Also if you plan to shoot video on the move, make sure you either dial back the quality to 1080 or invest in a stabilizer. 4k is very shaky unless using a tripod. Over very happy, especially with the s&q.

I am in the US Air Force and TDY/deploy a lot. This item helps me organize my my gear which is a very important depending on our missions. Ive had the item for about 1 month now and have used it for 2 trips already. This item is very user friendly and easy to set up.
