Anyone use LWHC and a platform?

I am just curious if anyone does this.

I like using the LWHC as a climbing method, but I don't like how it doesn't handle any form of side pressure compared to a platform.
 
The strap will definitely help, but I like using a half tight bungee cord and moving the stand with my feet around the tree instead of trying to push off the sides. It doesn't take that much to do it quietly.

I prefer to just move the platform around the around the tree, too. It really can be done quietly. I did it with two deer in bow range a few days ago.
I would add a ROS (3:00 and 9:00) above the LWHC before I added a platform. This would be more comfy for sitting (I mostly lean) and also allow to walk around the tree a little bit.
