Hi Willie;
From the link you sent, that is the boxed camera which should be the same as the what Pat described. So it sound as if the adapter will NOT fit it then.
Maybe you can talk to Steve Moog and cancel the order as Pat says they don't fit those camera mounts.
The alternative is to possibly buy a M12x0.5M mount

(the above link goes "white" and blanks out in Camino - it displays fine in Safari though).
and replace the M10x0.5 mount you have already with a M12x0.5 CMT 103 model , which matches with what they use on the Board level cameras.
So to clear up any confusion.
The orange "Consumer Boxed Unibrain Cameras" in a plastic case, with Windows/Mac/Linux software and a tripod as shown below
http://www.1394store.com/eshop/product.asp?dept%5Fid=51&pf%5Fid=5310
currently use a M10x0.5 threaded mount - which will not fit any of Steve Moog adapters.
However the Unibrain Board cameras

http://www.1394store.com/eshop/product.asp?dept%5Fid=55&pf%5Fid=2050
http://www.1394store.com/eshop/product.asp?dept%5Fid=55&pf%5Fid=2051
use an M12x0.5 threaded mount and do fit the Moog Adapters.
Hope that helps..
