They are WOEFULLY unstable. I'd never risk one on a set with an uncontrolled animal.

Hi everyone!

I've settled on (1) being outdoors if possible, then (2) going w/ a Lowell Tota and quality stand (and indeed never use if the dog is a spaz), but Tsu, I'd LOVE to check one out first to see: will one get enough light to make the purchase worth it. Thanks, I'll be PMing you.

Thank you all for your input and ideas,

Karen
