Been trying to figure out how this guy is bankrolled, he always has the coolest new toys. Know RED loves him but I wonder how much of his gear is borrowed and how much he owns?

For a kid who started doing youtube tech gear reviews while still in high school, Marques Brownlee has done very well for himself. Wikipedia has a bio on him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marques_Brownlee .
Also here another bio on Brownlee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RKwLcf7ciU
As for Marques Brownlee's income, some sources place his net worth over $1.9 million. Here is an older video estimating Brownlee's earnings from his youtube channel.

Social Blade estimates he makes anywhere between $90K and $1.4 million per year.
Each year probably varies but I would assume (none of my business though) that he's worth more than $2 million, especially with other business endeavors, projects, possible brand deals/sponsorships, appearances, etc.
Nevertheless he deserves it.

That explains it, I've been too lazy to research all of that. Good for him. I admire anyone who can make a living or better from social media, it takes a special kind of mind and drive to make that happen and it's much more difficult than than you would imagine.
With the general creator revenues of about $2,000 per one million views, the video on the OP is roughly a $2,000-$2,500 earner (1,250,000 views and 20 minutes long, slightly longer than average, which gives a chance for more ad spots).
HOWEVAH.
His more recent Samsung Fold Phone clip already has over 10,000,000 views and that's ~ $20,000 in his pocket.
I assume all his gear is free and I also assume that, had he wanted to keep most of it, he'd need a separate warehouse.
Which brings up a classic Jack Benny bit from the mid-1950's.
---------------------------
Jack : Rochester, would be you be so kind and bring around my Cadillac?
Rochester : What? Mister Benny, you must have forgotten that we don't have a Cadillac.
Jack : Well, we do now.

He makes some of the best tech related content on the internet... with zero fluff. It's all A+ stuff.
He's building a new studio. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx-SdagHQQK/
