You mean Thunderbolt, right? Lightning is the Apple's dock connector for iPhone/iPad.
$29

Um...Did you look at the $29 link I supplied? It's a Thunderbolt-to-Firewire adapter, so you can connect your DV cam to a Thunderbolt Mac.

Lightning is the connector for new iPods, iPads, and iPhones.

It is useless for DV.

These are not the connectors you are looking for.
