Carrying Items and playing them on the board.
 

New to the game, please clear something up.

please tell me if this is correct.

i can place down in play 5 two handers but turn 4 sideways and 1 upright.
the one upright is the one i have equipped...and i can switch them out when i'm not in combat?

That's correct.

The same goes for armor, headgear and shoes?

Yes. You can have any number of small Items in play, whether they are Armor, Footgear, Headgear, and Hand Item. Any that you can not use must be turned sideways. The only thing you can't normally have more than one of in play are Big Items (regardless of what Item type it might be), so you can't put extra Big Items in play and turn them sideways unless you have a card that lets you have more than one (like Dwarf).
