Is there an L bracket/Plate that you can use WITH a battery grip??

I use a battery grip on my Canon 5d mark iv, because I pretty much always shoot vertically and the battery grip makes holding the camera much easier for long periods of time. However, by hand holding the camera, I get motion blur once in a while. To help with this, I wanted to get a monopod to help support and stabilize the camera. The problem I run into with L brackets, is that the metal is not between my hand and the battery grip and I can't get a good hold on the battery grip anymore, or it is wildly uncomfortable.

So my question is, are there any L brackets that are comfortable to hold that I can attach onto my Battery Grip?

3 Legged Thing makes a rather large bracket that might work.

Yes, I am familiar with tripods. I could use a tripod, but the problem would still persist that the bottom of the battery grip ( part that my hand is holding ) is still grabbing on to a rough edge L bracket. The reason I use a mono pod vs the tripod, is I need the camera to quickly adjust height, while providing more stabilization than being hand held.j A mono pod, I give it a simple twist, and it lowers or raises. A tripod I have to adjust each leg. But i’m not trying to fix a monopod / tripod issue. I am trying to solve the problem of holding onto the L bracket in the palm of my hand. Even if I used a tripod in the same way, the L bracket would still be in my hand.

So back to the original question, is there an L bracket that you can use with a battery grip, that is somewhat comfortable to hold and doesn’t interfere with getting a solid grip on the camera.
