On the other hand, if you buy a second hand MacBook Pro,or still using it, and it has Thunderbolt2, you're fine.
If only a UltraStudio Mini Recorder with Thunderbolt3 is available, you have to buy a new MacBook Pro,
It's a chicken an egg s(h)ituation :0
I hope both "formats" stay available, maybe in the future i upgrade my MacBook Pro....
I think BMD is doing a good job, and making a lot of people happy, who els could not affort these video "needs"
and still with a high quality.
The previous MacBook Pro's allways where a better choice connecting wise, so there are people who still favour these.
Only the newer Mac's lack connectivety, and Apple want you to buy the external interface for it, i think that's not consumer friendly, the newer connections will be faster ofcourse, and i think BMD will also make sensible "moves" toward that, the UltraStudio mini Recorder is a handy device, The Intensity Shuttle (Tb2) also,
very affordable, good quality, they perform very well with my MacBook Pro (13" 8GB 2015),
And have done some exellent VHS > MP4 transfers, also because there are still some VCR's around that give a stable video signal. (Panasonic, JVC)
