No tricks required, you simply have to get the original Norma filter holder, the more modern version is different. The Norma FH has a red dot on it, and the original Norma hex rods had a red dot also. When properly put together you get the 45 degree swing with the Norma camera which works beautifully. When they came out with the newer F/P/C cameras things changed, since the rod is in a different place and they are really not interchangeable. Well, the hex rods are, of course, but not the holder.

I simply ground some extra flats on one of my hex rods (now an "oct" rod), allowing me to use it on either an F camera or in either regular mode or diagonal position on the Norma. I don't have one of those flip-away filter holders, but might hypothetically be able to adapt a spare darkroom one. Wouldn't want to, however, because I use the rod for sake of a compendium shade made from a short section of F/P series box bellows. Gosh, they made all sorts of accessories.

Kelly LF lighting Broncolor Balloon Fill Only F16 EI 100 by Nokton48, on Flickr
Another digital test shot, building up Tim Kelly lighting in my smaller portrait space. Here I have exchanged the 60x60 Broncolor Pulsoflex Softbox, with the biggie globular Broncolor Balloon head, on a 300 ws Broncolor Impact Monolight. Light measured with Broncolor FM2 digital strobe metered measures F16 at Ei 100. The idea with this light is an overall soft directional fill, lighting as much background as possible. In these close quarters the Balloon head is definately the way to go, I can't imagine a softer light source with this one. Of course it falls off from side to side, just like windowlight but artifical. A good upgrade from using a small soft box, it didn't light enough of the set for my uses. This is my other cool James Bright canvas painted 9x12 foot background. I'll be changing up my background setup soon but it's going to be a bit of carpentry involved but well worth it. I'll be adding more lights to build this set up further
