Review: Reliable & Economical Firewire 400 to 800 Adapter - 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!
Review: Hassle-free and BINGO! - Okay, I use windows, Linux and Mac. For various different applications. And I want to continue using my excellent Canon Vixia HV-30 MiniDV camera that is ONLY 5 or 6 years old. To me that's NEW! I upgraded to a new Mac machine (which is my film- and infotainment only system) iMac 2,9 i5 and came upon Mac's backwards compatibility issue, this one of having NO FIRE WIRE PORTS at all. To say the least, I was sceptical. So I chained up the Thunderbolt to FW 800 Then this little "elago" adaptor FW800 to 400 And into it I stuck the old FW 400 cable to the camera. I had to "shove" it in, but that was ok. > BINGO! < The (newly bought) Final Cut program recognized the camera without a hick-up. Everything works smoothly and nice. I have only transferred 10 minutes of stuff onto the mac but this little piece works just fine and the small size is a plus. The price is ok, certainly more fair than the whatever $29 or $39 it would be from a mac store. Otherwise I have no tech specs to report regarding speed etc. It works for my filming-projects.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great.
*by W***R on July 27, 2020*

This product appears to be of very decent quality. It worked flawlessly as one segment of a 4-part daisy-chain to connect a 90's era Sony digital video camera with a firewire IEEE port to a Lenovo Yoga 730 Thunderbolt 3 port. Two of the four segments were Apple products. My Corel Video Studio Ultimate recognized the digital signal immediately and downloaded my video perfectly. The only issue I had was when I first tried plugging the firewire into it. It did not want to go in. Before "trying to fit a square peg into a round hole", I examined both pieces carefully. This connector has some "ribs" that poke into the firewire opening, and I decided that they were simply to hold the wire in place. Sure enough the firewire snapped in and was very snug. I decided to just leave it attached since that was its sole purpose!
