I have made an adapter to get the flash light
at 45°.
It uses 2 pieces of little wood maintained by
2 screws and i have a bended metal plate.
A reflector made with pasteboard, white tissue,
velcro all that sewed. And double face adhesiv tape.
I use it also on T32 with its head up.
I am satisfied with that "funny" (as people says)
system.
It decreases the GN by 2 (approx.)
