Hello Milton,
The camera was purchased from 1394store.com in early June, so it's
pretty recent. S/N 0040042144.

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.

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
(I
measured it and Canada is Metric). Also the engineering and
manufacturing diagrams from Unibrain clearly state they use an
M12x0.5m. Also on the Unibrain website

Thanks Milton. So I guess I will go ahead and order his longest
M12x0.5 adapter.
