Good evening all! I am looking to buy a tripod and have been doing some research on different tripod brands ect. I found these two pieces that I liked and was hoping for some opinions. https://www.manfrotto.com/us-en/befree-advanced-camo-wild-green-travel-tripod-twist-mkbfrta4cam3-bh/

I really liked the manfratto 490 tripod head but wasn’t sure what to buy for the legs. The manfratto tripod legs were too expensive for me. Can you buy a different brand of legs and have the two pieces connect? I found these legs on amazon, https://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Monopod-Lightweight-Compact-Digital/dp/B0CB3JKTJG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1 , but again wasn’t sure if the two would connect. I’m looking to spend about $100-$150. I also liked the tripod set, with one downside being the twist legs. I would have preferred flip locks, but would be fine with the twist legs. Also, what is your opinion on buying used, like on Facebook, ebey,etc. I bought my camera on Facebook and don’t have any problems with it, but wasn’t sure about buying a tripod on there. Looking for opinions, recommendations,anything! 😄 Thanks in advance!
