I use it to carry micstands and subwoofer poles and it does the job perfectly, protects a lot and you can carry microphones on the top (I carry 2 shure SM58's and I put the mic clamps in the other free holes). There's also a compartment below, but I don't use it since it's "on the bottom" (even though you'd normally leave it laying down on the floor) and it feels like anything there could be smashed by the micstands (like a cable connector or so), but good to carry some emergency cable or so I suppose.
