Taking the best from 3 different companies and bringing them together for the best possible combination of equipment. Bravo!!

This is the ROLLS ROYCE of all footplates.

I have many of the same foot plates you have and I just got the Harambe Cyberplate, and it is really nice, well worth the money. Solid and smooth, and I think it looks gorgeous!! I also agree with you on the sling system for their bar, I do not like it, and prefer using the X3 short for my bar, so I am 100% in agreement with you.

I appreciate your honest interview. I’ve been using the Cyber Plate for the past month. It’s fantastic. With a little practice the Harambe sling system is quick and easy to use.

Nice review. I will agree that the Cyberplate has the best feel during a workout compared to all of the six other footplates I own. I also think mixing and matching equipment to get what is best for each individual is spot on. I do the same thing.
I get that some people don't like the Harambe slings but for me, I can attach the bands to the slings almost as fast as using a hook bar. I see in this video you are still attaching the bands to the slings in an inefficient manner which makes it more difficult. I use the Harambe cork block to set my bar on to prevent the slings from off the Pullys.

I love the Clench Carbon bar but hate the little spring-loaded part of the carabiner. I find that it gets in the way and makes attaching bands a lot harder. It is my favorite bar otherwise.

The variable resistance with the X3 bar and Cyberplate is insane. You can perform way more partials than any other combination of equipment. Regardless of which bar I use, I can push myself a lot harder than I could before.

The rollers are really cool but already bought the Geku footplate and gotta say for the buck it’s pretty nice ! Love all your videos Mike just bought the fatgripz and love them ! Keep up the good work !!! Your input is really helping people

Definitely my favorite out of my boards. I actually didn't know how much drag my other board had UNTIL I used the CyberPlate. I actually like the hyperbole of the name haha. I haven't been sold on the sling yet either but the irony is that I use a Tribe steel bar with caribeeners and straps and that's very sling like. My setup is more secure IMHO though. I agree about the size of the bar. Mine is 3 part but I mostly use the shorter 2 part configuration. I like it aligned with the board too. By the way, your board and Jason's are #2 and #3 on my list and I still use those in my "remote" gym.

As someone who works in "Cyber Security" (but calls it information security).... I agree adding cyber to stuff is ridiculous. That is my biggest complaint with the product, so I will come up with my own name and continue to use the buttery smoothness!

[GamerBody]

Interesting take on the sling issue of the bar hooks. I always just went with the metal hooks, but I think your concerns/issues with the sling style are warranted. I wonder if others also feel the same. I have not used it yet, but I feel it would be more annoying to use as well.

[KanielD]

Exciting! Not enough time to watch it yet… but I’ll share & let it play for views…

[amelandsusu]

I don't have any issues with harambes sling system. I actually like it and find it easy to place and replace bands. Not sure why you find it so difficult lol. That probar looks cool though

[taylorpark]

I still need to try out those 32"inch bands from Serious Steel. I can see how different lengths would be fun to help dial in tension for certain exercises.

And the Cyberplate looks super fun. I'd love to know if you've discovered any new movements with the rollers that are hard to do on the normal footplates.

[jhsmith]

To the bigfoot guys I wear a size 14 and haven't had an issue. Good review.

[outtrigger]

i've found that the problems you mention at 5:00 are mitigated pretty well by using the silicone oil on your bands when using the clench plate. that said, i'm still interested in this board if it really feels better to use

[mrqualityreviewer]

I am really digging the cyberplate I wish I had the Coin to get their system

[KE]

I want one really bad, but just bought the Harambe regular plate last fall and some Harambe bands. I "need" to use them for at least a year before I upgrade, to get my money's worth! I still use my X3 bars and Performance bands with it

[elba]

Thanks for the review! I am waiting to receive mine but it will take more time because I live abroad, but then I will post some videos. I would like to know if here in the comment section I can find some user videos, can’t find anything on YT, just harambe’s channel stuff. Pls if someone has a channel with videos using harambe system let me know 💪🏻

[DavidRosenberg-]

Definitely a cool and well made footplate but unfortunately not in my price range. Another great video Mike

[brandondabbs]

I've seen a ton of talk that serious steel is the superior band. All over even X3s site it's got especially women needing serious steel bands with their various lengths to even use the system.
