any USB C - firewire 800 adaptor in the pipeline?

I can state that the Thunderbolt 3 ->Thunderbolt 2 -> Firewire 800 daisy-chaining solution for tethering to a camera does not work. Camera used was the Phase XF system with a IQ3 back. You will need a Thunderbolt dock (which provides its own power) in between. Not an elegant solution, and not good for on location-work.

The daisy-chaining does work for FW hard drives that has its own power though.

Apple seriously needs to create a Thunderbolt 3 -> Firewire 800 adapter considering they pushed FW in the first place, and are now pushing Thunderbolt 3/USB-C so strongly.

I've used Thunderbolt 3 -> Thunderbolt2->Firewire800 for hard drives, Audio interfaces and to Firewire->optical->Firewire ... it's worked in all cases..

I don't have a Firewire Camera so I haven't tried that.

With new iMac 2017 I've successfully connected my FW800 External HDs with: the "Thunderbolt 3 (USB C) to Thunderbolt" adapter connected to a "Thunderbolt to FW800" to FW800 Cable to external HD daisy chain.

As far as I know, there is no such adaputer.

USB-C to USB then USB to firewire adapter connection could works.

Hi,

As stated, so far there is no Thunderbolt 3/USB-C to FireWire 800 adapter (and I question if there ever will be given its age and limited use outside the Mac community). Also note that there is no such thing as a working USB to FW adapter as they are two completely different protocols.

The following adapters should work for you:

Thunderbolt 3/USB-C to Thunderbolt/Thunderbolt 2 (Note that this is a special price available until Dec 31, 2016): http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMEL2AM/A/thunderbolt-3-usb-c-to-thunderbolt-2 -adapter

Then go from Thunderbolt/Thunderbolt 2 adapter to FireWire 800 with this adapter: http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD464LL/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r

Do you think that will work?

USB C - thunderbolt // thunderbolt - Firewire?

Have you tried it?

Which audio interface have you used? I'm interested to know whether my Allen & Heath ZED R-16 might work with this setup over FW. Thanks.

I'm also very interested in knowing which audio interface you got to work with this setup.

I have an M-Audio ProFire 610, and I'm very curious whether it'll work if I purchase a new MBP.

Thank you!

I'm internste too which audio interface have you used?

I hope it´s a Motu.

Hey alexkayal, I use an M-Audio ProFire 610 - asking the same question. Any news?
