Real air, on tap, from your hand.

A 100W brushless motor spins to 98,000 RPM and reaches full speed in 0.3 seconds, pushing air at up to 150 km/h. That is enough to move hair and fabric on set, lift dust off a surface, or cut through still summer air.

Stepless control dials it from a gentle 15 km/h breeze up to the full gust, so you set exactly the air you need rather than flicking between fixed steps.

Wind on demand for photo and video.

For wedding and travel photographers, e-commerce shoots, film and TV crews and content creators, the CW20 is the wind you used to need an assistant and a mains fan for. It moves hair, veils, fabric and flags exactly where you point it.

Small enough to live in the camera bag and quick to set up, it adds motion to a still scene wherever you point it, then packs straight back down.

WHY THE CW20 OVER AN ORDINARY HANDHELD FAN

A jet, not a breeze

150 km/h of directed air does real work, where a pocket fan only stirs the air in front of your face.

Two nozzles, two jobs

The flat nozzle focuses the blast for cleaning and detail; the round nozzle spreads it for cooling and styling.

Instant, controllable power

Full speed in 0.3 seconds and stepless control, so you get the exact air you want the moment you press it.

Goes where you go

321g and pocket-sized on a USB-C charge, instead of a mains fan, a power lead and a stand.

One-handed, pocket-sized, ready in 0.3 seconds.

At 321g and 115mm the CW20 works in one hand and rides in a jacket pocket or a corner of the camera bag. There is no stand to set up and no lead to trip over.

Power indicators show the charge at a glance, and the aero-grade aluminium body with an HA III finish takes the knocks of a working kit.

A high-rate battery for instant power.

A 26.64Wh high-rate pack feeds the motor the current it needs to hit full speed instantly and hold it. You get up to 20 minutes at the full 150 km/h, which is a lot of bursts across a shoot, or up to 15.5 hours on the low breeze.

Recharge it over USB-C from a wall charger or a power bank between sessions, so it is ready for the next setup.

ONE TOOL, MANY JOBS

Photo & Video

Move hair, fabric and flags on set, adding motion to a still scene without an assistant and a mains fan.

Gear Cleaning

Blow dust off a lens, a sensor, a keyboard or a PC with the focused flat nozzle, no canned air to buy.

Cooling & Drying

A strong personal breeze on a hot day, or a fast way to dry a surface, hands or kit in the field.

Camp & BBQ

Fan coals to life and keep a fire going, or cool down at the campsite, on a USB-C charge.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the two nozzles for?

The flat nozzle concentrates the air into a focused jet, best for cleaning dust from gear and for detail work. The round nozzle spreads the air for cooling and for styling hair and fabric on a shoot. Both are included and swap on the front.

How long does it run?

Up to 20 minutes at the full 150 km/h, which covers many short bursts across a session, and up to 15.5 hours on the low breeze. Speeds in between sit between those figures. Recharge over USB-C from a wall charger or a power bank.

Is it safe for cleaning camera sensors and electronics?

It blows clean, dry air with no propellant or moisture, which makes it a reusable alternative to canned air for dust on lenses, sensors and keyboards. Use a lower speed and a sensible distance for delicate parts, as you would with any blower.
