Hi, Has anyone used this device or would recommend or not another adapter to connect Canon 24TSE to Hasselblad X1D?

Mine works fine with both the 17-II and 24-II Canon T/S Lenses. The built-in rechargeable battery seems to hold a charge for months and recharges with a 5 volt USB charger.

Thanks for that. I will look at getting one.
There seems to be no on-line instructions.
From what I can see you just set the aperture with a thumbwheel and when ready press a button to close the aperture, take the shot and then press again to open the aperture.
Is that basically it?

It's how the GFX model works.  The lack of a manual was interesting, but I guess there isn't much to say.
