Egg 360 lens + DVX100b ? Macro distance is ?

Can these be used together ? I need to shoot some 360 stuff, and this looks like a good solution, but I can't figure out if they will.
Egg Lens:
Minimum focal length : 135 mm
• Weight : Less than 12,4 ounces
• Height: 187 mm
• Maximum diameter : 137 mm
• Thread size : Ø 46 mm
• Integrated UV filter
• Field of View : 360° x 90°

From their support guy:
Thanks for contacting Egg Solution Support.
You have to use step down rings 72 to 46mm.
If the Macro Focus on the camera fall under 13 cm.

From what I can tell, DX is 60cm as B&H says
Minimum Object Distance= 1.9' (0.6m)

Is this right? How would I modify then to work together? I know about step-down rings, but this lens math stuff is why I took "Astronomy for Lovers" in school instead of real math. Any help will be appreciated.
 
I have use the 360 oneVR with some sucess with canon xm2. The main problem is the low resolution, not the ditance to focus (with 360 one anyway). I would love to have one of these setup with a red, that would give a bit more resolution.

Cheers
Steve
