Just to add to the below, obviously I don't have this next camera, but if it does have the ribbing round the lens shown in the image, the lens might unscrew so save having to take the camera apart:
And it's cheaper!

Why do you want to use your QSI with Metaguide?? It's not really intended as a video camera.
The most economical solution is a basic webcam with the lens replaced by an eyepiece adapter.? Also some (but not all) guide/imaging cameras will work with Metaguide.? My Altair GPCAM2 224C is ok, but not my GPCAM3 178M.
This video might help, showing how to convert a Logitech C270 webcam:

I expect even cheaper webcams could be converted with a bit of ingenuity!? Might even have a 12mm thread.
