I suppose you would have to haul a generator out if you wanted to use it in the field? Seems like a studio thing for sure. Too cool.

...except that it's mounted on a lensboard, pointing *into* the camera body? Doesn't look graflok to me.
How is this meant to work? Do you have a third standard behind the film plane, with the camera pointing at the ground glass?

It is placed in a auxiliary standard behind the rear standard facing the groundglass, with a auxiliary bellows inbetween.

At least I assume so... Never seen such before.

Its a sinar lensboard, The newer models (F P X) all have a universal standard system accepting boards/bellows/backs/attachemnts, via the same standard square connection. Its pretty smart actually.

I guess in this case it is mounted on the rear standard instead of the graflock back.

That looks like something for Drew Wiley or E. von Hoegh!

In some way it reminds me of a remote controlled 35mm SLR with a tube videocamera taking the image presented in the eyesight.

But also of an apparatus for eye fundus photography where a CCD-camera was fitted to a custom finder of a 35mm SLR, and used as only means to watch the finder image. The groundglass had been substituted by a field lens.
