From Sony HDV Firewire to USB-C

I have an "old" Sony HDV 1080i Digital Video handycam and the only output is V/A, Composite and Firewire IEEE-1394. I have earlier used the FireWire to get the full video in 1080i into a normal PC with a FireWire inlet, but now i only have lapotops with UCB-C 3.1. I have searched online and in local PC stores without finding any adapter from FireWire to USB-C. Any suggesions on how I can get the DV from mini-tapes over to the laptops?

Impossible on modern laptops to hold the quality with all sorts of converters from FiWi to USB
I did it always on a laptop PC in which I build my old firewire card and for W10 used the legacy drivers. Copy past the DV-Avi's and HDV 's from desktop to laptop.
