I have for sale a Hasselblad Flexbody which has been modified to give lateral shifts and swings as well as the standard vertical shifts and tilts. The technician who did the modifications called the results "BendyBlads". I think about 200 were produced. This unit was checked out by the technician in 2015.
It offers +/- 21° vertical tilt. Most field technical cameras and tilt adapters only offer about +/-10° of vertical tilt.
Here is a link to additional images of the lateral tilt and shift mechanism:

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 compact view camera which is very productive when you fit a digital 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 (tube) built in.
I took about 65% of my shots with the BendyBlad when I had a V mount sensor unit.
