$50 for about $15 in materials and a tiny bit of thought, really?
Large J Hook - $8 - Can be hand bent out to fit center bar gap on the back bar
GoPro Tripod Mounts x3 - $4
I am usually not one to trash ingenuity and designing your own products to fit your needs, but $50 is a joke. I understand you're selling to a pretty niche market here, however $20 is probably more appropriate a price.
Looks like you made your own plyo-box, nice. Next thing I’d strongly recommend are [tornado hooks]( Tornado 00515 J-Hook https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0050PKJ88/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_97rVAbP1KQ9Q7 ) to store you barbell on the wall.
How do you like those bumpers?
Found them. I guess I should have done that first.
Those are nice hooks.
I see. I recommend something fancier like a Utility Hook:

maybe some JB weld epoxy, rubber cement, duct tape and elbow grease to keep it on.
I lived in a house where the doorframes extend all the way to the roof so I had to build a custom mount for a hangboard. What I did was buy a simple door frame pull up bar like this and mounted the hangboard to a piece of plywood and then fixed some large hangers on the back of the hangboard so that it could be hung over the pull up bar (make sure you get some very sturdy hooks for this, I used these ones. It's worked very well for almost 3 years now. Highly recommend this approach!
