. . . is there a good one that isn't too expensive that will allow for portrait orientation? Camera is not gripped.
Thanks

They all pretty much allow for portrait orientation these days... take your pick between camera rotating, or flash flip. I have one of each and they both have their good and bad points. I actually don't use them anymore because I just hate having all that crap strapped to my camera... haha.

Short answer, no, there is not one that is not too expensive. At least not for my budget. The least expensive I've found is the Stroboframe (external link) line. They work. From there you can go to a Newton (external link), Custom (external link), or Really Right Stuff (external link). Just decide weather you want to rotate the flash or the camera. And include another $70 in the cost for an off-shoe cord.
