I think those might be hard to find since the function of the tripod id to provide stable base at a customizable height. Other functionalities are reserved for the heads (swivel, tilting).

I saw that on youtube.... don't know why he's put a foot long piece
of wood on the bottom someone else on youtube has done a
similar one and just put a small disc weight on it.

Neil, I used the base from an old Manfrotto head for my DIY Gimbal.
