Baritone Instrument Marching Band

This type of case offers the best of both a hard case and a soft bag. It conforms snuggly to the shape of a Kala Baritone Uke or a U--Bass. It provides almost all of the protection of a hard case, but weighs very little more than a bag. It also has a rear-mounted strap for carrying it over your shoulder. There is a small, covered, internal accessory box under the instruments neck location, and a generous zippered accessory pouch on the front of the case. This case will provide excellent protection for an instrument as long as isn't crushed by a considerable weight. Scrapes, scratches, hard bumps, and even drops from shoulder height will do no damage to the instrument inside, and no functional damage to the case itself. Have no doubts, this is real protection for you Kala Baritone or U--Bass.

The GBU4101 baritone Ukulele Bag is perfect for what I put it to use as. As most popular Ukulele on in the market is the Soprano, most of the gear and accessories are for that smaller model. Finding a good bag at a good price to accommodate an instrument of 30 in length was a rather trying process and I am glad I found the GBU4101 Bag. I am so pleased with this bag from B&H that I have told several of my friends that also have instruments requiring a bag of 30 inside length. Check out my photos to see how well the instrument fits.

Not using for stereo capabilities but rather two cameras, filming marching band focused on different parts of the field. Had previously used different set ups - multiple tripods, go pro attached to single tripod, etc. Although I only used for final show of the year, it performed as hoped and look forward to using next year. No surprises with anything, mounted quickly and fit the equipment as indicated in the specifications, and best of all, quite inexpensive considering the function and the alternatives. Did generate some comments from others in the football stands about how much equipment I was using.

We are using these to mic marimba and vibes for marching band. They work great and produce great sound.

I used the intercom system for the first time during a video shoot at a marching band contest. I was concerned my cameraman would not be able to hear the director over the load music, but it was not a problem at all, even with the inexpensive headsets that came with the unit.

Using this with a Shure 183 element in a marching band situation (Trumpet and Sax solos) and is working GREAT!!

This microphone is amazing and was a huge upgrade from what I had. I am using it to record our high school marching band and the recordings are so accurate and detailed, it’s near perfect. I record on top of press boxes in the open air most of the time where I have to deal with wind and, with the wind muff, it does a great job even without turning on the wind reduction. If there was one thing I wish it did better, it would be in the reproduction of the lower frequencies but that’s getting really picky. I am using this microphone on the Sony ZV-E10.

I use this to photograph my sons marching band and drum and bugle corps. It allows me to zoom in and photograph individuals. I am very happy with it.

Picked up the Shape Shifter for a trip I’m taking with a band marching into 2020 Rose Parade. The parade is only one day, but it is really a week long event for the band and a lot of travel, performing, and sightseeing. I wanted something smaller then my rollers, and I have never liked the traditional photo backpacks with the dividers. I packed it up for a dry run and it all fits great. I’m taking two mirrorless cameras, and two lenses (Nikon Z6 with a 24-70mm, and a Sony A9ii with the 100-400mm), and a Profoto A1, 15” MacBook Pro, PlataPod and mini ball head, plus all the other assorted little items (cards, batteries, cables). It all fits and seems well protected.
