Nitecore BlowerBaby Kit contains Nitecore BlowerBaby, Nitecore CMOS Filter, Nitecore Camera Cleaning Pen and Nitecore Storage Bag for BloweBaby. The Nitecore BlowerBaby is the first rechargeable duster designed specifically for photography equipment and more. Equipped with a powerful 26,000 RPM motor it can pump out air at 70km/h to blast the sticky-icky and the ooey-gooey off of your fine electronics such as a keyboard, computer components, speaker etc. The filter can be easily removed and cleaned to improve airflow and for routine maintenance as well as substituted with a special anti-static sensor filter with a finer mesh to protect the delicate camera sensor. The BlowerBaby has a built-in 1500mAh rechargeable battery that can power the fan for over 15 minutes of continuous use or 90 uses of 10 second bursts. The tri-color battery level indicator will let you know when it's time to charge; plug in the USB-C cable for fast charging to full in 1.5 hours.
