I very much like your whole approach to the whole thing! Hope to hear about the shots you get in Paris etc.! I gotta say though that I brought a C clamp to Europe the one time I went there (1970) and couldn't find many supports to screw it onto! But a tripod in Paris continues to be a problem it seems. Erwin, it seems shots Tech pan with a cyan filter to counteract it's red bias so people will look good. How are your people looking?
