My understanding of the manual (is that the best they can do?
The pages aren't even straight) is that the head itself cannot
be rotated 180�. Have you thought about pointing the head
straight up and attaching a reflector to it to direct the light
forwards?
FWIW, the Metz 45 and 60 series can do precisely what you want.
The 60 series can run multiple heads off a single power pack as
well, although recycle times are pretty slow.
