Cool! I did this instead...

This is what you get, when you marry a Mini Cardelli Clamp used in pro photography with a Manfrotto 484 ball head.

The clamping surface is rubberized, and fits just as easily on a door frame, as it does on the headrest post, and locks down incredibly tightly.

Here it is mounted (very strong mount):

Plus you can clamp it elsewhere:
