Is Image Handler the only way to go?

I will require multiple images on each of the items shown on my Zen Cart. I am looking for a better way to install multiple images then used in Zen Cart which if I read the instructions correctly, I need to change each of the file names to show multiple images.

I started to install IH2 but had some problems and noticed that the Image Handler forum has been discontinued temporarily. That scares a Newbie like me.

1. Is IH2 still the best way to go?
1. Are there other products that integrate with Zen Cart that do the same thing. Not worried if I have to pay for a product with good support.

Thanks for your help.
