Is there a flash coupler that can go between the camera body and the flash allowing the flash to rotate side-to-side? Similar to the Nikon AS-1 Flash Coupler.

I want to be as light and versatile as possible, and therefore use one of the smaller speedlights, but they only rotate up. Yes, I can use my 580ex or transmitters, but that becomes more clunky and overkill than a small, versatile flash.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Gotcha - so a flash bracket would definitely be out as well... \$\endgroup\$

I doubt you'll find one, as these days, most speedlights have heads that swivel. I'd suggest that you consider trading in a little bulk for swivel capability, and looking at purchasing a Canon-compatible small hotshoe flash with a swivel head, such as a Canon 320EX (270º), Godox TT350 (270º), Nissin i40 (360º), or Meike MK320 (150º).
