Further... didn't realise that was a display port. Still follow the above but the connection between the 2 will need to be via a thunderbolt to firewire 800 adapter. Then a firewire 800 to 800 cable

that might be better though
What his camera has is a 4 pin FireWire 400 jack.
FireWire (unlike USB) could control cameras.
What you need is a converter to your existing mac.
The age of your mac will dictate what you need on the other end.
Here is from Amazon, a 4 pin to firewire 400 cable.
Same thing, but to FireWire 800
Most Macs no longer have firewire, but rather have thunderbolt. If your mac runs into that category, you need the 4 pint to firewire 800 AND the Apple firewire to Thunderbolt cable.
Is the Thunderbolt connector on the HDD removable? I.e.: is there a female Thunderbolt port on the HDD? if so, then this adaptor and a firewire cable should work.
If I'm wrong in this, please post the make and model of the HDD so we have an idea of what we're working with.
It’s FireWire, right? Just use a dongle:

Remember that the new MacBook Pro ports are both thunderbolt and usb c, so there are options.
