Hi, Alex
An Arcbody does not complement your V gear as much as a Hasselblad Flexbody does! The Arcbody uses different and very expensive large format lenses but the Flexbody uses your V lenses.

I have a Flexbody which has been modified to give lateral shifts and swings so it performs the same as an Arcbody. The technician who did the modifications called the results "BendyBlads".

Here is a link to images of the lateral tilt and shift mechanism:  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kb98xuzb5ql82l0/AABSSNcRH1HR03E4pB-P4Mora?dl=0

Here is a link to documentation on the BendyBlad:

I can send more photos if you are interested. Price is US$2,250 net of fees and freight and includes a reflex viewer, stray light filters, cable release, front and rear caps, Hasselblad Flexbody manual, original Hasselblad box, the bits to restore it to a Flexbody and all the rest of the kit with the blue bag. Not all the Flexbody kits on eBay include all these bits and you must compare carefully.

This is a rare and very useful item. You get a miniature view camera which is very productive when you fit a sensor unit, especially, if it has liveview. You will be able to photograph mountains without tilting the camera back and you can place the horizon wherever you want in the frame. You also get up to 21mm continuously variable extension built in.

I took about 65% of my shots with the BendyBlad when I had a V mount sensor unit.
