it's true, you can pick up what used to cost "car money" large format stuff... 4x5 and even 8x10 cameras for a few hundred these days....
Monorails are easier to manipulate but require a huge box to carry on location, whereas "field cameras" and such are a bit hard to do all the swings and tilts on, especially if you are into the Scheimflug principle, ... also a used field camera may have harder-to-turn knobs, due to being crammed in a box,etc...
I had a nice old Calumet monorail, it was great..wish I had never sold it!
The Schleimflug principle...
