to be honest i've never seen a tripod before and thoght it was a cool consept
i was thinking about a other tripod how starts whit 3 legs at the ground
standing in a triangle, lift one leg up, flips his total body and plase his feet
at the other side of the 2 legs how are already at the ground,now hi should
start whit a other leg and repeat itself :)

real challenge, pneumatic only is to slow i guess, maby you can use springs how
get presurised whit pneumatic and be released whit a quick release mechanisem.
