I'm generally pretty hard on YouTubers but Gerald is harmless and doesn't claim to be anything more than someone that enjoys gear, enjoys talking about gear, and enjoys making videos about gear. He's pretty transparent in my view. It's definitely not for everyone but I also don't think people go to him to learn about the actually art of filmmaking.

That was my initial thinking but I think they are talking about outputting slow motion to an external recorder and are using "monitor" in a different context.

Yeah, I've been building a basic set of Minoltas for awhile now and I swear by them. They never let me down. 
Heck, one of the more memorable films I've seen this year (Identifying Features) was almost entirely shot on a set of vintage Minolta Rokkors! 
And if there's one thing that every review I've read has in common with this film, it's that the cinematography is gorgeous.

I love them so much and still keep an eye out to finish my set. What really impressed me was how good they are wide open and overall how sharp they are without being too sharp like a lot of modern lenses are. I think I paid $90 shipped for the Rokkor-X 50mm f1.4 and it saddens me that the days of finding deals like that are long gone! 😂

I love my Rokkors and when I bought them they had arguably the best cost for quality ratio out there. FD prices had taken off, but Rokkors hadn't. The Rokkor X 50mm 1.4 stands up to some Leica lenses I've used, for instance. 

I'm not sure that you'll find a decent action camera for under 100 euro/120 dollars, at least not new. You could probably find an older used GoPro for around that much?
I'd go with the DJI Osmo Action if you go new. It's under $200 US, has 4K 60p and excellent stabilization. 
But anything under 100 euro? I wouldn't buy anything new for that, as I'd expect the quality to be poor. 

The Rokkors even stand up on medium format.
Damned good glass and best ever for the money.
One of my favourite posts about this:

The later A-mount Minolta autofocus stuff ain't bad either. They really were pioneering trailblazers in the 80s, with lenses like the 35mm F1.4 G

Yes he will be missed!
I liked his channel, very much no-nonsense and going about his business with the upmost care.
We've lost an artist and a friend.
Rest in peace David

He'll be missed very much. He was so articulate, informative, and he never fell into the click bait trap that has ensnared so many others. Someone said he was the Bob Ross of M43 and he really was. 
I hope that those that haven't seen or read his stuff take the time to check it out. He was very passionate about it all.

Any questions let me know!

Very, very sad. Liked a lot his reviews.

That's absolutely terrible news. He posted a very short last video, and I was trying to get his contact information.
I used to love his reviews. He was brilliant and brilliantly witty. Can't imagine anyone else who was an advocate of the M43 ecosystem, like him.
Panasonic and Olympus owe him a thank you note, in the least.

That’s very sad news.
I’ve watched many of his YouTubes.

So sad. 
He was one of my favorite writers and video bloggers.  With his unique and interesting insights, he could easily entertain even when discussing a mundane camera bag or consumer lens.
He certainly contributed to my love for the m43 format.  It's a sad irony that as we find new life being breathed into the these smaller cameras, we have lost one of their most talented advocates.

Looks like they went full retard with the full frame aesthetic.

I'm guessing they don't want to pay the licensing fee, so they let Atomos eat that expense and they can reap the "benefit." I just don't understand the logic behind getting these small, lightweight cameras and then putting a recorder on top of it. I'm glad it's an option but it's really not something that I want to deal with.
