I removed the disk (top platform) and screwed a Kirk 25mm quick release clamp into the 1/4 inch stud. It's now a lot more useful as I can quickly mount a camera, flash, audio recorder or mic without messing around with the screw.
If you want to use the Manfrotto 259B Extension, this is the wrong tripod. What you need is the Manfrotto 209B. It has a 3/8 inch stud to mount the extension. The 209B has exactly the same legs as the 709B but lacks a head. Most people install the Manfrotto 492 ball head on the 209B, creating a table top tripod strong enough to actually hold a DSLR.
The only gotcha concerning the 709B are the little rubber feet on the legs. Mine all fell off after a couple years of light use, making for slippery footing. I found small rubber caps at the hardware store and squeezed them on the leg ends and they're more grippy than the originals.
For only $25, the 709B is a great pocket tripod for small cameras, portable audio or flash units. A DSLR user will probably be disappointed.
When I attach my Canon EOS 50D in the upright position, the camera is held stable. However, the tripod cannot hold the Canon 50 vertically (portrait) without tipping over (see my photo). This can be easily remedied by put a small amount of weight on the opposite leg, such as a book, weight, etc.
The tripod has tiny cork feet glued to the underside of each leg. One of the feet had come off in the package before I even opened it. Not sure how long it will stay around before it's inadvertently lost. Be prepared to make your own replacement feet. For the price I'm surprised Manfrotto didn't do some kind of molded silicon foot or something a little more rugged.
I'm giving this tripod 4 stars because IMO it's a bit overpriced for what it is. It is a good tabletop tripod but if you're on a budget there a quite a few other makes, all cheaper. Velbon Mini and Sunpak Mini Proplus are two others I considered. Also Vanguard makes several minis. BTW, I've posted some photos in case that helps.

The reason I got this is that otherwise it is a small, sturdy, stable, and light tripod. It is nice for hiking where you can set it up on top of something so you don't need to bring a heavy tripod. But the lack of the extension tube will limit the utility of this one. It is pretty hard to get your eyes down that low to check the camera.
Firstly the built quality is excellent. The first thing that strikes you is the size and portability. It fits into the top compartment of my Lowepro AW102 sling bag with ease, so I carry this mini tripod all the time, whether or not I carry my regular full-size tripod. The second thing is the stability. I have mounted my Nikon D5000 with the 55-200 zoom without problem. The tripod's mini ball head also allows a portrait setup, but tends to lose its balance in this mode, which can be easily corrected by placing a book or a bag on one of the legs. In landscape mode the tripod is super-stable, as the legs spread wide apart, thus lowering the center of gravity of the camera and tripod. Thirdly the quality of the ball head for such a tiny tripod is excellent. The ball head locks firmly. There is a slight downward creep that is typical of most ball heads and you need to adjust for this while composing the shot.
The only con is the absence of a quick release mechanism. I wish it had a ball head similar to my 7302YB tripod and I could switch between the two tripods without having to take off the bottom plate and screw on the Mini tripod.
