Hvx Firewire port issues

[filmat11]

Perhaps this is old news, but I just ran accross this item. A friend of mine said he just paid close to $ 400 bucks to repair the firewire port on his camera.
Here is an option, especially if you use the firewire port .
I appoligize if this is old news, I was not aware of this device...

Anybody have a review of this product ??

I can tell you it's awesome.
I put it on my firewire cable and haven't taken it off since.

AND - it's made by a fellow member, Siniarch -

from one Luis to another, thanks for the Plug.

Filmat, I had the same problem with my setup I even burned my Firewire connection. Had to pay around $379 to fix it. (ouch) Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Luis

Well it may have been old news to some, but I hadn't come across it before. This will ease my mind when using dvrack.... just placed my order. Thanks for posting filmat11 and thanks Luis for thinking this up.

Puckthemad,
I'll see what I can do on the DVX front.

Capt Chuck,
thanks for the order.

I have a major event I need my HVX for and now my firewire port is gone. Where did you guys get it repaired? Was it at a Panasonic Service Center?
