I got mine from OLX just to watch the blue supermoon this month, I would recommend searching on OLX and Facebook marketplace to begin with.
 
A flimsy tripod will shake from the wind, and with a telescope at high magnification ("zoom") can even pick up ground vibrations from people walking around it. You need to invest in a sturdy tripod that has a hook below to hang weights and make it even more stable.

Cheap tripods are meant to hold light cameras in 200-300g range. They're not even suitable for heavy DSLRs which weight around 600-900g. Your scope is 3kg.
