Mostly, in vivo single-unit recording device with optogenetic activation or inhibtion seems to only use in anesthesia condition.
Are there some commercial goods for free-moving mouse recording electrophysiology with optogenetics?

Hi Tsai, I hope you realise this video you linked is a master thesis but not for science but science communication...
Neuronexus has commercially available optrodes which can be used chronically in freely moving animals.

In addition, the opeOptogenetics community has these approaches collated:

I hope this helps,

Hi Tsai,
I can highly recommend this company: http://www.cambridgeneurotech.com
They will also help you with setting up your project. We have had a very good experience with them.
Best, Christoph
If you have access 3D printing they are pretty easy to build as well and are orders of magnitude cheaper. Open Ephys has pretty good documentation about different drive options: http://www.open-ephys.org/flexdrive/
I have built on the basic design for my own purposes and and really happy with it.
you can try the prizmatix LED systems for freely moving mice:
