Review on Cmple 10FT FireWire 800 BETA 9-Pin/9-Pin Cable - High-Speed πŸ”₯ Data Transfer for MacBook Pro and PC - 10 Feet Black by Jason Carranza

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not compatible with Phase One or Leaf Credo backrests

If you're looking for a good Phase One cable for over $100, this one will look very attractive. However you will be disappointed: 1. The molded case (behind the boss for the actual firewire port at the end is too big to even fit in the back. I fixed this with some careful work with a Dremel tool. 2 IF the above mod has a working cable built in, I would be happy that so much money was saved on a simple mod, but after properly connecting the cable to the back and studio computers, the signal was too poor to be used reliably 3 systems tested and 2 separate backs and the camera would lose connection every time it was even detected Obviously it's too unreliable for use in a production studio so I hung it on the wall to remind myself that some deals are not bargains at all I do NOT recommend this cable for production work due to reliability issues

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Hardware Sad
