This works well as a headrest mount for my car, a Chevrolet Suburban. It's not perfect, but it's the least bad solution I found.
Taking inspiration from the other reviewer, I mounted this using a 1 5/8" black rubber stopper from Home Depot.
I drilled a 1/2" hole into my 1 5/8" rubber stopper, and then cut a slit into the stopper from one edge into the newly drilled center hole. I also cut another slit a few millimeters over so that I could remove a small pie piece wedge. The idea was to make the stopper easier to fit onto the headrest mount — not sure if it was a good idea or bad idea. I then installed the stopper onto the headrest (wider side down) — it wasn't a perfect fit, but once I got the mount brackets over it, it held sturdily enough that I could tighten it down. To tighten down fully I used a 6mm hex bit attached to my drill/driver. I did not need to use any of the extension parts that the pole mount ships with.
Things I learned:
Do NOT use a neoprene stopper. They are very difficult to drill into / cut into, and compress too much such that the headrest would sag.
Using a drill/driver with a 6mm hex bit makes this much easier to install. I only had imperial hex bits, so I bought the Tekton metric hex set available on Amazon.
This will easily hold a 24" TV (specifically an ONN). You could probably do bigger, but even 24" feels plenty large in a Suburban.
The arm on this mount is not long enough to perfectly center, but it's close enough.
