Just getting the Majestic legs would certainly be best. Seems like it's hard to find just the legs alone. From what I've seen, it's either the head with the legs or just the head.
    Mine’s mounted to a Manfrotto CF set of legs. Click image for larger version.

    Be careful of damaged heads

    The crank is often slightly bent ruining it from a fall

    The heads require the very good and unique adjustable camera screw
    I really like 3 legs over 6

    It can get very tall if needed

    Buy only perfect as there are no parts

    Not to hijack the thread…
    Just inherited a majestic head and it’s super stiff from decades of neglect…
    Suggestions?

    I also made very simple adapter using the 1.5" plug to a 3" disc upsized with a small amount of SS strap

    to fit snugly to the largest Linhof Metric female receiver for the very HD studio cameras

    Serious and needy enthusiasts apply

    The stiffness of the Majesty may be very stiff grease and/or bent elevation crank

    Very common from dropping
