What if you have an uneven number of belts because you take one or put one away? It would be very instable and would tilt without the same weight front and back.
This is just a suggestion, not a knock or anything against the poster. But a solution I think could work is to rotate the hook 90 degrees and have 2 of them, one at each end. Then it would remain flat and balanced no matter where the belts are on the rack.
Not a perfect solution, you wont see or have access to the belts at the back and the mount takes up more space on the rail. But at least you aren’t playing a balancing game each time you take a belt.
I think I’d hang the hook off the end, so that the belts are stored in a vertical tree (slightly sloped, so that they don’t fall over each other.) But that’s an entirely new redesign for something that only really matters if you care about it.
Buy a decoy belt that only gets used when you’re wearing one of the real belts. The decoy belt can get a wall mounted hook so it’s out of the way when no belts are being warn.

That’s my thoughts too.

There’s a little bit of movement but it’s not too annoying. When loaded up with belts, taking one off doesn’t make a big difference.
What about a radial hanger? Hooks positioned at Fibonacci intervals spiralling outward. Would the weight be more evenly distributed toward the center?
I can barely code fibonacci, doubt I could model it
Just leave the empty gap in the middle? Come on Sam, we’ve got to work together on stuff like this!
