The Vertigo M1 accepts most manual-focus EF mount lenses within the following specifications:
-A maximum outside diameter of 92mm.
-A maximum weight of 2.5 lbs each
-A maximum length of 130mm / 5 inches
NOTE:
-Longer/ heavier lenses may be supported via a 15mm rod base (not included).
-The M1 does NOT provide an electronic connection to the lenses, so they may not operate as
you expect (ie. electronically controlled iris, AF and IS will not operate).
-EF lenses with outside diameters greater than 93mm (ie 114mm Canon CN-E, Zeiss CP2) may be
mountable, but only singly, or paired with lenses of smaller diameter.
-Extremely wide lens-bases (at EF mount end) may not fit. Canon 85mm 1.4 do fit. We have’t yet
found a lens that won’t fit, but you might :)
-If it looks wrong, don’t mount it.
-Remember that lenses on the VERTIGO-M may “see” each other, so don’t plan on using a short
8mm with a long 200mm. Select wider lenses (20mm or less) that are the same physical length
(or longer) than your other lenses and you should be safe

No. There are some baseplate requirements however and not all your accessories may work with Vertigo.

15mm Rod Baseplate
Vertigo requires a 15mm rod (lightweight spacing) base that accepts our 15mm rod bracket and does not project forward of the camera’s E-mount. Bright Tangerine Leftfield bases are a popular choice.
Handheld
The width of the Vertigo requires the stock Sony grip to be offset and there are two rosette extensions included with the rental package.
We recommend the use of a 50mm rosette extension and Shape’s grip extension.
The Vertigo is often also used with Easyrigs and monopods.
This rental package includes a customized 15mm LW rod base and 6” Arri-style dovetail plate which will allow the built camera to be mounted on many video heads (ie Sachtler Video 18/20).
Longer dovetail plates may be useful for larger tripod heads.
