Firewire 4pin on my cameras to Thunderbolt
Have a new macbook pro laptop with two thunderbolt ports and no firewire. They sold me Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter MD464ZM/A B&H Photo Video which is Firewire 800, I know I can get an adapter and daisy chain it all, but I didn't know if anyone has other solutions.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Firewire 4pin on my cameras to Thunderbolt
You can get a 4 pin to 9 pin (firewire 800) cable.
I'm not sure what other solution you'd expect. There's also 6 pin to 9 pin and 9pin to 9pin firewire cables. I don't think it would make economic sense to make anything other than 9pin to Thunderbolt as both 4 and 6 pin can go to it with proper cable. |

Thanks.... I'm not surprised Apple didn't make the cable, I've never viewed them as expansive in their tech offerings.

Re: Firewire 4pin on my cameras to Thunderbolt
Got the firewire 800 to 400pin cable (ebay). That worked like a charm. Although, capturing video with a mac/FCPX after 10 years of pc/vegas......well, I feel like I'm cheating on a long term girlfriend or something..... please tell me this new relationship is just as good. :}
