Most appropriate flash bracket to keep orientation

I strive to keep the flash over the camera to project the shadow downward behind the object. However, most brackets will enable the flash staying in landscape orientation no matter what orientation of the camera is flipped (portrait & landscape). In the situation of camera-in-portrait & flash-in-landscape & short flash-to-object distance, it will come out the top part of picture is well lit but lower part is not.

I tried bounce light but the result is not acceptable either.

I think it needs to get some kinds of bracket that enable to always keep the camera-flash in the same orientation. I know that Stroboframe has some models (may be named "swing …"). Just wondering what other brands / models or other solutions to solve the problem?

Thanks,

Sebastian
