Would you know if it is possible to use a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 with Firewire to tether a P45+?Okay...I'll say it.
It's a kludge. According to Phase One, "until there is an approved functioning adapter, you have to use a powered hub to get USB or FW to the back".
I've recommended my shooters to not upgrade yet or buy the previous version if they absolutely need a laptop. We should see OWC's new hub soon. In theory, you can use an adapter to connect to their Thunderbolt Dock 2 to the laptop, but I haven't tried it yet.

Yes I have also read that it is not possible to convert Firewire into USB.no you can't !
USB-c is great, one interface that will connect and power everything.Just another reason why Apple sucks in 2017.
enough power for an aptus via FW-800... to USB-C ?USB-c is great, one interface that will connect and power everything.

I use a Hasselblad/Imacon Flextight with my 2016 MacBook Pro via USB-C->Thunderbolt->Firewire without issues. It looks ridiculous but it works....you cannot convert a FW signal into a USB signal.

This made me think of a support call I received one time....Now maybe the same system could be setup using an rc battery like that for a quadcopter, and the usb-c>thunderbolt2>firewire(with power injector wire).

Get an older generation Fuji Lifebook Tablet computer, like the T5010, they have Firewire (4 pin) built in and full power Intel processors + touchscreen for tablet mode. Works great. I used mine with P65+. Cheap solution, too.Would you know if it is possible to use a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 with Firewire to tether a P45+?
Thanks.
