My first impression was that with the umbrella fully extendedat 90 degrees full lenghtit could be a bit shakey but was adequate. The shakeness was more due to the size of foot print compared to the extension of the umbrella placing the center of gravity just off to the side of the stands foot print. I think with the flash mounted it will help counter balance it. I think if it were outside and any wind I would have to sand bag the legs. This umbrella is 60" if you have smaller umbrella you wouldn't be extended out as far. You might check that out with the 28" foot print. I think for the softbox I am buying 28" footprint would be fine since the center of gravity will be closer to the shaft.
As for studio's in the house. My wife wants me to take the sheet I used as a backdrop and put on her China Cabinet down now.
