This greatly minimized the swaying and it felt way more stable. But I was never sure it was really needed. But it did feel more solid.
I can not remember exactly how I attached the cord to the stand, I just know I did so. I suppose some caution might be needed to make sure the cord can not separate any of the stand connectors.
