Switronix, Wooden Camera make a P-Tap to dummy battery adapter. On the surface the Switronix one looks like the one but there are reports of interference being caused by the voltage regulator inside the dummy battery housing. The Wooden Camera one has an inline voltage regulator box. I believe that Hawk Woods makes a similar one and Media Blackout. Check Dolgin.net as well.

What dummy battery do you use? I have no idea what that P-Tap thing connects to, I'm a total noob.

Here is my solution for the A7s. A very compact cage and a small but very useful shoulder brace with an external battery that runs the A7s for 4-5 hrs.

You can order just the battery plate option as well with a 6' cable. I offer several battery plates, but the Sony E type is the most popular. I can also supply AB Goldmount or IDX Vmount plates with voltage reducer for the A7s.
I am adding a 15mm rail kit for this compact rig, it should be available in early April. All the rest of the kit is in stock now. I also carry Swit batteries for the battery plate.
