It’s a great combo isn’t it?
Yeah the side handle is a valuable addition. Helps keep it very steady and it also acts like a great area to mount accessories like magic arms for monitors etc by using the 4/8 screws all over it.
It was just a cheap one from Amazon or eBay (can’t remember) - it was about £20 ($18 or so)
Well worth it. I never take it off!
