Nice legs!
I always preferred flip locks. Twist locks are too slow and I never trust them not to slip.

It was the flip-locks that caught my attention too. Purchased a Gitzo carbon fiber way back, following recommendations from many photo-friends. "Lifetime guarantee" they pointed out. Right from the start I had trouble adequately locking the smallest leg section, but eventually got the hang of it. Then eventually the two smallest sections started to slip unexpectedly, Could I get replacement friction pads from Gitzo for free? No way. It took me weeks to find a supplier. Dismantled the legs, cleaned everything carefully reassembled with the new pads (plastic instead of the original fiber material). Guess what? First time I used it, the smallest leg section slipped. I can lock it down, but I should carry a Vise-Grip pliers to unlock it again. I have a much older Bogen (Manfrotto) with flip-locks, and an even older Slik with flip-locks, and they are still 100% reliable, and quicker than the #$@@%&!! twist-locks on a Gitzo. NEVER AGAIN!

But as to the image. Nice legs - - on the tripod

This message count madness has produced much unexpected fun.

Yep...that's coming through loud and clear....mind you le Rolls probably would have gone up and introduced himself, and had her posing on the wall.....with the Jeep.
