I was surprised by that as well. I found it when searching for his lens review.
For me the fact that he sells a loudspeaker with some wire for $1500 or $4000 with gold wire is the worst. He is clearly preying on vulnerable people who have lost people dear to them. He uses classic marketing techniques to sell this shit while pretending to want to help people.

Wow, that is real! I assumed it was somebody doing a parody of him. Although I a don't doubt it is legal, I think the whole thing is immoral. Worse than a snake oil salesman.

I am looking for comfortable use bag, which will fit body with CV 40/1.2 (and maybe spare battery) and will be minimal.
That’s unbelievable. I had no idea! But that said I would now like to see a Philip Reeve review please, especially interested in the “Basic single strand Human Transfer Energy Antenna”!! Wowzer!
Nope. It is already way too tight with A7RII to be really comfortable in use. And A7RIII is slightly larger, so it is even further away from comfort use zone. I have one

I'm guessing you have either strap or L bracket? I use the DH 5 just fine with the R3 + up to FE 85, but I take minimal seriously, simply a paracord wrist strap
The wrist strap serves as a wrist strap and to pull the camera out as it is a snug fit. The DH 10 will obviously fit too, but it's way massive, probably works with the 24-105 or even 35 f1.4
EDIT: I used it holsted 99% of the time, and being locked in does seem easier to use than hanging loosely.
Yep, I used it the same way with A7RII. Also with minimal wrist strap. But increase of A7RIII size plus capture clip plate made it too much for DH5 for me.
I just ordered the M-mount version and should get it later this week.
If anyone would like me to run some tests just let me know. I couldn't justify the extra money for the e-mount, especially when I just paid 780 USD - 635 EUR for it and will get a further ~70 USD - 60 EUR back in less than two months when going on a trip to Europe and claiming the GST back.
Ordered another copy for E-mount. But still have temptation to go with M-mount + TAP.
Can't find final answer for question regarding performance of M-version on E-mount vs E-mount version and decide what is better, to have occasional AF or EXIF.
Paranormal Steve found that his M-copy is sharper on Sony than E-copy. But this was comparison in mid-frame, and might be attributed to copy-to-copy variation, while if there are real difference, it will be manifested in corners.
And what stops me from TAP is seems to be inevitable "wobble issue".

In normal every day photography of people and things that are in the center of the frame the m-mount version is great, the bokeh is super smooth and the contrast and shapness is pretty much on par with the e-mount.
Its only when pixel peaking of wall pictures that you notice subtle differences.
It also is works well on the TAP, very usefull at f1.2 when you want to work quickly.
Dont knock it untill you have tried it!
