I tried the one below on the Recaros...

It worked, just barely. Two issues - 1) the Recaros are tall and the mount puts the camera up high. Mounted up high, the rear view mirror blocks the forward view somewhat. 2) The headrests are recessed into the seat and you have to extend the headrest all the way to make it work.

To solve #1, You can tilt the seat back some to lower it. You can't go too far because the mount would need tilt significantly to keep the camera level.

One thing I thought of, but didn't try, is to mount the camera in the back seat and have it centered between the front seats. I don't know if this would work but it would make it difficult to operate the camera unless you used a remote. The camera would also have to be zoomed some to get past the front seats and that would restrict the field of view.
