I just purchased the large one with my Nikon Z6ii. It works well, but it takes up a lot of space.

The small one is fine. I use the larger one for larger tasks like blowing off dust inside a frame when framing prints. The small are more convenient for having one in a camera bag and scattered in other useful places if you buy a few at once.

Whichever fits your hand… I use a medium size.

Just don't pack one in your suitcase or camera bag when travelling by air.
The TSA will confiscate it as it looks too much like a bomb...even though it isn't.

Interesting.
I travel all the time with mine in my bag with no issues.

I use a medium sized Giotto. I do have a question of other Hoggers. Years back I recall seeing a camera cleaning device it looked like a Giotto device but it was electric/battery powered that blew air or vacuumed the dust out. Anyone see a device like this? Do they still sell them. Blowing dust deeper into the camera has always concerned me. Seems like a vacuum source would be safer to the internals of the camera. Just sayin'.

I use a small vacuum designed for keyboards that has a tip that can reach into the camera body without touching any parts. It runs on 2 AA batteries and has enough suction to remove loose dust particles. You can find one in an office supply store, such as Staples or Office Depot.

Don't agree, no giant alarm clock with play-doe and brightly colored wires!
