The only issue with the Fire-I Digital is the lens mount, which is a M10x0.5mm threaded mount. Finding a ready made adapter for it is difficult, if not impossible.

There are M12x0.5mm and C/CS Mount to 1.25 adapters readily available, but not for M10x0.5mm ones. The Board camera have the M12x0.5mm mounts.

However, if you search on Google you can find replacements M12x0.5mm mm and could replace the M10x0.5mm one yourself.
