You could get a Sinar F2 or perhaps a Sinar Norma in pretty nice condition for about $500, leaving roughly enough for a couple lenses. It would probably have all the movements you would want. Using a short extension rail to hold the standards when you are packing it up should get the size down to where it would be easy enough to carry.
If it is the process of taking the picture with LF that attracts you, either of these cameras would be a good choice.
I use a Canham which packs up smaller, but once I get to where I'm starting to take pictures, I take it out of my backpack and carry it in my hand or on my tripod.
