An interesting solution in search of a problem...Not a photog myself (just an amateur retoucher), but ran across this video and thought this is pretty cool.
Why do you need to level the tripod if you have an inverted head mounted? Very rarely, for multi-row panoramas, etc... But people who do this already use some specialized equipment.
Also, I do not trust those leg locks - seen that lately on some cheap tripods, they look like they may collapse under load.
I use my gimbal mounted atop my tripod. Every shot is perfectly level and vertically straight. This saves a lot of time in real estate photography, plus the tripod is always stable non-adjusting except for height which is handled by a center column.

Don't see what the problem is personally - I just use a levelling head - takes seconds to set up, robust and cheaper.
But I guess it is lighter - my gear head or Gimbal does way a ton.
That tripod looks awfully flimsy BTW. - I guess OK for very light stuff.
