Softbox and Flash Bracket

I thought this question would be lost in my previous thread, and I'm looking to get something sorted by Saturday - so time is ticking!

For indoor waist up portraits with no option to bounce flash. 85mm portrait

I'm thinking of something like this

Need the camera in portrait, and I would like the bracket to support a reasonable size softbox - appreciate advice on what would be a recommended size.

Also will have my 'assistant' to hold a softbox too.

I have a stroboframe flash bracket - but it has a 'cold shoe?' adaptor - and I'd be concerned about it taking the weight of a flash and large modifier.

A similar light setup to this perhaps
