Hi Pat;
How old is this unibrain camera your talking about then?
The ADS Pyro camera I had used a 10mm diam lens on it. That lens would drop completely inside (without touching the walls) of the unibrain cameras I have here.
Also i have a Kritter USB camera here and the Unibrain Cameras (including the packaged one) I have here are interchangeable and all M12x0.5mm.
The plot thickens..

Sorry, one more follow-up. Just ran down to our machine shop to
measure the (packaged) Fire-i lens mount. It's M10x1.0 (1.0 cm O.D.,
1/mm thread pitch). I've shot an email off to Steven Mogg to see if
he can machine an adapter for that conveniently. Will post when I get
a reply.
