Welcome!
This is an extremely helpful place.  Lots of members offer help/suggestions etc and many of these will help you avoid some of the pitfalls we've all fallen into.

If you are new to VR photography, rather than just EP products, then I suggest a session with Smooth (contact him on PM) - Smooth has helped me enormously over the years but if I'd taken one of his sessions when I started I'd have saved a whole world of pain in many areas!
