Camera Kit – Cleaning
For my current setup I use a multi-layered approach to fighting dust and dirt on my camera lenses…
It’s starts in Norway…
It’s September 2024 I’m on my honeymoon with my beautiful wife taking snaps when I suddenly realise I have dirt that’s impacting photos in the end I had to edit the dirt out in PhotoPea (a free alternative to Photoshop) and I got my camera serviced, the camera shop recommended me a dust pump and UV filters which changed how I cleaned my cameras.
In 2025 I was using the air puffer and no matter how much I tried to remove the dirt it just didn’t get it off. I ended up having to use camera cleaning fluid for the uv filter. I also became aware of electronic dusters in various price ranges from £30 – £79 on Amazon but they seem bulky and not something I could easily throw into my backpack but then…
I discovered the Nitecore BB Nano
It’s a tiny little duster that’s usb-c chargeable, compact and does the job! Before I go out and when I return back I use the BB Nano to dust my cameras.
I bought my BB Nano on AliExpress directly from Nitecore. Although I am acutely aware Nitecore does sponsor photographers on social media this was a purchase I did on my own using my own money to provide a truthful and honest review and currently I am very impressed by the duster. I spent £30 ($39.80 USD) and got the basic model without any of the fancy attachments and it’s taken a job I typically hate doing and has made things easier to do.
If your going to buy a BB Nano I would recommend the NITECORE Official Store as the experience I’ve had so far as been absolutely fine, as the item is being shipped from China it does take longer than Amazon and others but the item is cheaper and if your willing to wait it’s worth it.
