Mini-jack Firewire Lock for HVX

[Justin Kuhn]

There was a user-made product on here a while back that piggy-backed the mini-jack headphone port above the Firewire on the HVX to solidify the Firewire connection. Now I'm wishing I bought one right then, because I have a serious need for one--I capture off the P2 through the camera as a deck and the port has gotten progressively looser.

Am I giving a clear picture here? It was a 6-pin Firewire plug that had a mini-jack on top of it. The whole thing was supposed to fit right onto your HVX, with the mini-jack holding the Firewire in place. Now I search for this and I can't find it. Barry Green even did an article or at least a post about it.

Anyone remember this and where I can find one?

Doesn't seem like it's made anymore. I wouldn't order it though, there's a lot of threads around of this person not delivering products.

Oh well...since I'm not using a Firestore anyway, I might as well pick up a right-angle FW and snug it up with a strip of gaff while I'm capturing. Ghetto but workable. Thanks!
