I'll try and give it a shot tomorrow if I've got time cuboos. I'll post it back with the rig.

 

I'll presume you want this to autobalance like other characters do. I already have a three legged creature I've rigged, so this should be quick.

cuboos,

 

Here is the model with only IK legs. Balance was not added at this point and may be more of a problem than a help with this kind of character.

 

I did want to point out that the legs deform quite badly when they bend. This is supposed to be a mechanical tripod right? If so, I would recommend breaking the legs up into individual tube units and adding one of the knee joints at the top of the leg to hide the break.

 

Let me know if you want me to send you an example.
