elago FireWire 400 to 800 Adapter Compatible with Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, iMac and All Other Computers (White)

Brilliant.

don't wait to download your digital files to a hard drive, do it now. The process of transferring from digital mini tapes is laborious. thank goodness this adapter plus a couple of thunderbolt adapters make the transfer possible

Fantastic. This connector lets me connect my old Canon DV camcorder to my Mac so I can download and keep all my family movies. Basically it connects a FireWire 400 plug on the camera cable to a FireWire 800 port on the Mac. The Mac software is apparently backward compatible so it handles the FireWire 400 traffic properly and even controls the camcorder. Worked reliably and first time. Good value too.

This connector formed an essential link in video cable. It did the job just fine at a fraction of the alternative price.

DIDN'T WORK

Life saver! Old Mini DV tape with old camcorder and a 2011 MacBook Pro. No other cable worked until I got this and a thunderbolt adapter! Now watching old recordings on Olex!

Not compatible for computer model v

Did the job. Meant for transforming from DV to laptop.

The adapter works well as a set of 4 adapters from a video camera to a MacBook Pro. works well.

Nothing to say. It just works.

The Firewire 400->800 and Apple Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt 2 arrived on time and as described in the product write-up. The Firewire 400->800 adapter is compact, and one of three or four adapters you'll need to chain together to convert DV Tape to digital movie for storage on an iMac or the cloud. Since I have an older and newer iMac, I already had some cables. First, I connected my JVC DV camera to the DV->Firewire 400 cable included with the camera. Second, I connected the Firewire 400->800 adapter. The fit from the Firewire 400 plug was tight. At first I thought it wasn't fitting correctly, but pushing it in firmly responded with a satisfying "click". Finally, the Firewire 400->800 adapter was plugged to the Firewire 800->Thunderbolt 2 adapter (also pictured in the second photo. This plugged into my older iMac. I turned on the camera's power, loaded a tape, and started iMovie on the iMac. Using File>Import in iMovie started a new window showing my JVC GR-DVL510U camera. iMovie provides all the controls for the camera. Total setup ~10 minutes. NOTE: Conversion is in Real time. The entire conversion worked flawlessly with the converter!

This enables me to connect my Sony HDV 1080i cam with firewire 400 directly to a 2017 iMac firewire 800 socket using the Elago adaptor and a standard firewire 400 cable.. I had tried two different 400 "out" to 800 "in" cables but the iMac could not see the video or sound feed. Now All my old mini DV tapes are back in action and my excellent Sony with the Carl Zeiss lens that had become previously obsolete is back in use and I am very happy. Well done Elago. Thank you Amazon.

Den fungerade. Det är mer än den tidigare adaptern jag köpte från Kina...
