    I jumped on the Undone boat when I watched one of the recent (within the last year) camera reviews. I don't care about cameras not even in the slightest, but it was something about the way the video was produced and the extent of the details in the review was almost calming. Since then it's been great watching Gerald's videos. They are quite informational for the most part (bananus included) but they are entertaining too.

    despite all jokes about the old videos, there is a lot of really valuable information here.
    After all these years of experience in YT consider doing more videos like these...
    talking about "how to CZcams" (create more pleasant camera shots/B-Roll, tricks to retain an audience, your steps to record a video, gain camera confidence, and others)
    I know your channel is more "gear's related", but in some of your and also Josh's videos, you guys provided more insights to people who want to become CZcamsrs than real channels that only create that kind of content, so consider approaching these subjects as well bro.
