Aw bollocks! I found a Thunderbolt 2 to FireWire adapter very very cheap, so got the matching cable and the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 cable. Everything connected, the Mac recognises the FireWire interface, so far so good.

Sadly, the old JVC Mini DV Camera we used back in the day doesn't function properly anymore. I knew the FireWire interface was probably botched as I couldn't get it to work under Windows. But on top of that the thing is blind.

Finally got around to making a custom cable for my Sony HandyCam DCR-TRV730E (2001) to connect to the DigitNow video recorder. It’s now 100% tapeless and works great, very pleased.

I’ve also included my pin outs for anyone interested.

If anyone is interested in seeing the quality of the recording let me know and I’ll upload a sample clip. #sony #handycam #yesterplay

Found a Blaupunkt CCR 890 H camcorder while thrifting for a camera bag; it has seen better days, but the broken Wide zoom button was still in the bag, as well as the remote, charger + mains adapter, a battery (dead, sadly), and composite cables.

Nothing else appears to be broken, and I have some unused Video-8 tapes I can put in it to test if it still records.

1991 Vintage Handycam in a catalogue

The image displays a vintage Sony Handycam, which was likely popular during the late 20th century.
The camera is black with various control buttons and dials on its side, including manual focus and zoom controls.
There are also ports for accessories such as microphones or external lights.
The brand name "SONY" is clearly visible, suggesting a high-end product at the time of its release.

Bevor ich für diese #52WochenFotoChallenge wieder zu spät dran bin, diesmal mein Bild schon früher:

Bisschen Beeindruckend was mit dem Pixel7pro aus der Hand geht. Oder machen die jetzt auch schon AI wie Samsung. 😅

How wonderful is it to live in a world where you can (mistakenly) buy a second hand camera off eBay to find its locked to Japan, and then with five minutes of searching find out that the dev community’s already hacked an easy fix seven years ago.
