      probably with the help of a couple of mirror… like in all reflex systems

      I don’t think so; if you use some optical elements (lenses/mirrors) to manipulate the image you can get whatever you want, but with just a hole in a box things are quite limited.

      Yeah. you might be able to flip it with a pin hole camera of a pin hole camera, but I don’t think there’d be enough light for that. If you want to flip it you need to use lenses, then it’s not a pinhole anymore.
