Hard to tell how the "quick power lock" legs work. Looks like perhaps there are 
pins that connect the locks in collapsed 
position, so that opening one opens all, or all above the one selected.

It would speed up initial unlocking, although each would have to be 
individually locked when extended and when released, 
and probably when being closed up. So some help, but only on 1/4 of operations?

I want a lever that releases all legs to move freely, you hold the tripod in 
place, release the lever and they lock. :-)
