Thanks all for your suggestions re. Woods. We went with Swinley and it looked great and not too busy in a quiet off the path spot.
Next problem:
Does anyone in Brighton or London and I can travel as last resort, have a MacBook pro with FireWire 800 I can use for a couple of hours today?
Where can I get an eSata cable in Brighton today?
Will a thunderbolt to FireWire converter work as well as FireWire 800 to 800 or are there likely to be compatibility issues?
Problem: I have a rented REDmag 1.8 station which has FireWire 800 x 2, eSata, mini sub, 5v dc in and some proprietary power to other device inputs.
It's not showing up on my win 7 laptop meaning I can't get the footage from my 4 x 64gb REDmags. It showed up on an old Macbook with FireWire belonging to our DOP on the shoot but he lives in London and I'm in Brighton. He just used a fw 800 9 pin to 9 pin with no additional power supply.
I've tried FireWire 800 9 pin to 4 pin with no power and the light didn't switch on.
I added a powered mini Usb and the light appeared but doesn't show card mounting.
I could:
Buy a different 9 to 4 pin cable in case mine is defective.
Buy a new MacBook but they don't come with FireWire any more - hence suggestion of converter.
Buy an eSata cable.
Buy a 5v dc cable.
However my options are limited as I have a flight to catch tomorrow lunchtime and need to courier the kit to the rental house first thing in the morning.
Thoughts?
