http://crusherholds.co.uk/portable-fingerboards-hangboardsI've seen pictures of portable Beastmakers (custom rather than 1000/2000 with holes drilled through them), none listed on site but you could perhaps contact them directly to see if they plan to produce any.I'd imagine any sort of sloper (or most holds in general) will be harder to hang by virtue of the way the board will be suspended (cords) meaning the board tilts when weighted.

Saw an LX Grips one last week which was basic but everything you need. Nothing about it on their site so could be a one-off or prototype but might be worth enquiring.Sent from my XT1068 using Tapatalk
I think although it is bulkier than the "cut in half" idea i think it is better as it more closely replicates which you do whilst climbing (i.e. you have your hands/wrist pronated, rather than half supinated with the cut in half board).
My own effort just used a narrow campus rung and a piece of dido rail

I am not sure that this kind of specificity is crucial in general, let alone on a portable fingerboard that should be aimed just at warm ups. The neutral position is the natural one and the one at which we tend to perform better. It's the reason why we (used to twist when doing one armers: because the wrist tend to assume the best performing position. So, I don't think that training pronated is more beneficial, it's just simpler. The neutral position strengthens the tendons and joints in a safer position. I doubt that it could cause issues during climbing. After all, for most people deadhanging will always be a minor part of their training... Also, the "cut in half" design avoids the inclination of the board forward that alters all the holds' geometry because everything becomes sort of slopey due to the twist. My 2 cents.
Paul you could hang from a grape
