Subject: Re: home made adapter

Hi guys,

Just wanted to confirm that the packaged unibrain fire-i with case (as

opposed to the board camera version) does have a nonstandard lens

mount, NOT M12x0.5.  I've had to fashion my own adapter as well, as

the Mogg UWAL-F does not fit.

He's wrong and yes it does fit. The thread is precisely M12 x 0.5

measured it and Canada is Metric). Also the engineering and

M12x0.5m. Also on the Unibrain website

Thanks Milton.  So I guess I will go ahead and order his longest 

M12x0.5 adapter.
