Hi Rob if you are shooting kids, it's a good idea to have a ceiling mounted system and they tend to trip over cables and knock over expensive strobe's.

I would suggest a minimum of 25 feet in length if you are wanting full body length and group shots with the 50mm FX lens.

An extra nine / ten foot distance from backdrop if using white paper to avoid lightspill - really as much space as you can get because the area soon gets filled up with paraphernalia, props, changing areas and computer peripheral equipment.

One thing i forgot to mention and it has proved a problem in the past is ceiling height - i have only 10 feet where i am at the moment and it's impossible to get my Octa up high enough.
