I used to think this way about camera support until a fellow photographer related a story about a cheap tripod failing and breaking the lens and camera. If you've spent $3000+ on a camera and lens (in the OP's case, about $1400 retail), why would you trust your camera to a cheap $50 tripod?

French Press is a terribly difficult thing to get right in the best of circumstances, I shudder to imagine what coffee tastes like after extracting/brewing for an hour.

Because hydrolock...

This is true, but I believe that is only needed to find and alter all Wikipedia links to point to WikiWand's URL schema.

Thanks!

I mean, seriously! Just look at what you can do!

Fiveteen million thousand internets to you, good sir/madam!
