Toptekits Firewire IEEE 1394 6 Pin Male to USB A Male Convertor Jack M/M Adapter

This works great but you need to understand what it is and how to use it. It will not connect a firewire device to a USB input on a computer, but it did allow me to connect my firewre device to a USB Type C or Tunderbolt input with this adapter. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015Z7XE0A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with both of these adapters together it works great. Standard USB is not compatible with firewire but USB type C is.

DOA Unfortunately did not work. Upon connection i got an alarm the my USB power was exceeded and the devise was not recognized. i am trying to connect a high end cannon EOS 1Ds camera to a laptop. The camera has firewire and no USB support. Cannot be certain if the power alarm is due to a faulty adapter or the USB spec limitations. I have only had this problem once before and it was a defective component.

It did not work for me and the drive I wanted to connect but may work for you. Many other reviews reported success. I knew it was a gamble. I don't think is the actual product but my firewire drive is old. Apple stopped making connection on it's Desktop computers a while back and this external did not include a USB or other means of connecting to the computer. Worth the money worth a try.

Very good quality. Great to have on hand to test repaired projects. These adapters do work when our techs have to trouble shoot older unis that used Firewire. Try to mate a USB to Firewire without them! I wish the industry would settle on ONE cord (hint HDMI) and not Firewire, SATA, not USB 1, 2, 3, C or Z (I know there's no Z!). Not only that, but these connectors (USB, HDMI, etc.) should 'click' into place (like the Ethernet connectors - but, with a connector that doesn't invole the hands of a surgeon to insert eight wires into eight tiny slots. We need to go back o the K.I.S.S. method (Keep It Simple Stupid). Let's face it, you spend more on a cold beer than you do on these adapters.

Great.. For us old school filmmakers using old school equipment. Its funny though when i was a dell engineer they told me this was impossible. I looked at then and asked what kind of education they had. I almost lost my job because i was told this was impossible. Dell makes good products. They just cant think ahead. Just look at Alienware and how behind the times they are. No innovation. They dont like dreamers. Apple lost their dreamers too.

Seemed to work. Found different solution for a connection, so don't know how well it does.

Don't buy this, it does NOT work. Video can only be downloaded through and IEEE 1394 port and cannot be transferred through a USB by any means be it this adapter or some kind of cord. You NEED the port I mentioned, this product is a waste of money and will do nothing but get your hopes up. A port is not that hard to install, it just plugs into the mother board after you make room on the back of your computer. I bought one with instructions and was able to put it in.

I needed this connector to connect a mic preamp to a laptop. No issues, well made.
