Just switched from compressed air to a manual blower for sensor cleaning

I've been using those canned air dusters for years to blow out mirror boxes and sensors. Tried one of those rubber bulb blowers last week on a dusty Nikon D750 and honestly it worked way better. No propellant residue worries and I got better control over the air stream. Has anyone else made the switch and noticed a difference on stubborn dust spots?

Yeah the rubber blowers are a game changer once you get used to them. I've been cleaning cameras for years and the manual ones give you way more control especially on those stubborn corner spots that compressed air just blows around. Plus you never have to worry about that cold liquid shooting out and leaving residue on your sensor.

Seventy bucks for a rubber blower? I mean, are you really pixel peeping that hard to notice the difference?
