Swapped from canned air to a compressor for sensor cleaning - night and day

I used to swear by those little cans of compressed air for cleaning mirrorless sensor dust. But after the 3rd can sputtered out halfway through a job I picked up a little California Air Tools compressor from Home Depot for $150. No more moisture, no more cold cans, and it pays for itself after like 8 cans. Anyone else ditch the cans for a quiet compressor?

I grabbed a little inline water trap from Amazon for like 12 bucks and it fixed that problem completely. Haven't seen any dust issues since then, just dry clean air every time.

Those little compressor filters add a whole other layer of dust too though.

More lint than a dryer vent.
