Re: vertical mounting (eg. Panasonic HC-V770K) ?

It's a reasonable thought, and I did look at first-surface mirrors. I think it would need at least a 50 mm x 75 mm size. Since I want to use this for a live presentation, I would also have to figure out how to do the left-right switch in real time, unless I use a porro prism.  But maybe that is a standard thing in most streaming software?

My thinking was to have a camera I could use right away at whatever angle ends up working best.  Some setups may have a better view at 50 degrees than 90 degrees, and it would be nice to be able to just use it without putting on a mirror and flipping the image setting each time.
