Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple MacBook Air 13.3" (2020) M1 MGN63LL/A 8GB RAM 256GB SSD Space Gray (Refurbished) $579.99There are few places where Whitney Leavitt hasn't made a TikTok: on a plane, in a parking lot, in a soda shop drive-thru, in the middle of a marathon, and even in a NICU. (OK, that was one time.)
Now with more than 3.4 million followers across all of her social media accounts, the 32-year-old mom of three leads a busy life as one of the stars of Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which follows a group of Utah-based Mormon influencers known collectively as MomTok. As such, Leavitt has mastered the art of filming on the fly, curating a toolkit of portable (and affordable) gadgets that come with her everywhere.
Credit: Mashable Composite: Zooey Liao / Image Credit: Nik Roberts / Getty Images / Otterbox / Newmowa / Splice"It's funny, the more that I've gotten into being a content creator, it's the cheaper stuff that I love more," she said. "You can buy the lights that are bigger than this, you can buy the tripod that's bigger than this. But I'm always on the go, and also I'm a mom, and I'm not gonna fit that kind of stuff in my diaper bag."
Fresh off of Secret Lives Season 2, Leavitt sat down with Mashable over a video call to reveal her content creation essentials and other tech she can't live without.
An Octobuddy phone mount Opens in a new window Credit: Octobuddy Octobuddy Classic $14.99 at AmazonLeavitt uses a hot pink Octobuddy to affix her iPhone 15 Pro Max to windows while she records TikTok dances and lip-syncs, preferring to film in environments with plenty of natural light.
"I think it's all about the lighting, I really do," she said. "I just think it makes or breaks the video, to have some good lighting. ... I'll always look for a window."
An LED selfie light Opens in a new window Credit: Newmowa Newmowa 60 LED High Power Rechargeable Clip Fill Video Conference Light $29.99 at AmazonIf Leavitt can't find a good source of natural lighting, she defers to the "amazing" Newmowa LED selfie light she bought based on a glowing recommendation from TikTok megastar Alix Earle. "She raved about it, and I was like, oh, that makes a huge difference in my videos," said Leavitt.
A vacuum suction phone holder Opens in a new window Credit: VIBE USA VIBE USA Vacuum Magnetic Phone Holder $17.98 at TikTok ShopLeavitt forgoes a traditional smartphone tripod in favor of a VIBE USA stand that she bought through TikTok Shop. There's a vacuum suction mechanism and magnets on its base that let her easily mount it to non-glass surfaces that the Octobuddy can't stick to. "This is so cool, you can literally stick it to anything," said Leavitt, demoing the gadget on a nearby wall.
The Splice app Opens in a new window Credit: Splice Splice Learn MoreLeavitt edits most of her videos right in the TikTok app before cross-posting them to Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. However, she also dabbles in Splice, another mobile video editing app she likes for its simplicity and resemblance to TikTok.
"CapCut didn't really resonate with me," she said, "but I love Splice. Super easy to use... If I just wanted to edit a video without having to upload all my videos on TikTok, then I'll just upload them on Splice."
An 'everyday cute little purse' Opens in a new window Credit: Petit Moment Petit Moments Buckle Bag $95 at RevolveLeavitt's content creation tools live inside of this faux leather shoulder bag, her "everyday cute little purse," alongside a pair of Apple AirPods, cuticle oil, and a Chomps meat stick. "You know, the essentials," she quipped.
A Celluma PRO light therapy device Opens in a new window Credit: Celluma Celluma PRO $1,795 at CellumaBeyond her filming must-haves, the Celluma PRO is one gadget that Leavitt reaches for daily without fail. She sits under the medical-grade red light therapy device every morning for 30 minutes.
"I don't know if you've ever heard of Paris Hilton's tanning bed that's LED red light therapy, but that's the goal," said Leavitt. "That's where I'm trying to get at in life, is being able to have something like that at my house."
A Ninja air fryer Opens in a new window Credit: Ninja Ninja Air Fryer (4 quarts) $119.99Leavitt also counts her Ninja air fryer as a tech essential in her routine. "I meal-prep my meals, and I hate reheating them in the microwave, so I'll pop 'em in the air fryer," she said. "I just feel like it keeps it crispy; whenever I reheat food in the microwave, it gets soggy."
Some Secret Lives fans might be surprised to know that Leavitt doesn't have a soda maker in her kitchen, given the cast's well-documented love for Swig, a popular dirty soda shop chain in Utah. But Leavitt wants to preserve the sanctity of her Swig rugs.
"I love the experience of actually going to Swig and picking up a drink," she explained. "I know some of the [Secret Lives] girls have those soda-making machines and their line of purees and syrups. I don't have that, because if I did have that, it would get dangerous really fast."
I love when my FYP serves me up exactly what I want. That's how it felt when Tess Gigone's videos graced my feed. From her home kitchen in Canada, Gigone takes a laid-back approach to home cooking, whether it's a simple lunch for her and her husband or an elaborate pavlova to bring to a family dinner.
And Gigone is my favorite type of influencer. Rather than pedaling products on TikTok Shop or pushing a certain lifestyle, she shares things that are genuinely delicious and joyful. Her easy-going videos have inspired me to try new recipes that have become staples in my weekly meal rotation.
Since first discovering Gigone two years ago, her following has exploded to 575.7K on TikTok, earning 33.2M likes in the process. Through her kitchen, we've seen Gigone make hundreds of delicious meals and watch her family grow. Now, Gigone has a one-year-old daughter and her own series with Food52, It's Fine.
In between her travels, I caught up with Gigone to talk about the essential products for her content creation. With her background in photography, she shared her favorite camera and all the tools she needs for filming.
Credit: Mashable Composite: Zooey Liao Image Credit: Getty Images/ Fuji Film/ Tess Gigone iPhone 16 Pro Max Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max $1,199 at AppleRather than an extensive camera set-up, Gigone takes a simpler approach to filming her content. For her, there's no need for an external vlogging camera. All her filming is done on her smartphone.
"I film everything on my phone, which usually surprises people! Until recently, I was using an iPhone 12 Pro, but I just upgraded to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and I'm feeling very fancy about it," she says.
Adobe Premiere Pro Opens in a new window Credit: Adobe Adobe Premiere Pro $22.99While some creators use TikTok or Reels' native editing tools, Gigone prefers editing on the computer: "For editing, I'm definitely a computer person. I'm not sure how anyone could edit on their phone — my thumbs are not that precise. Adobe Premiere Pro is my go-to software."
Octobuddy Opens in a new window Credit: Octobuddy Octobuddy Phone Mount $14.99 at AmazonWith limited space in her kitchen, there's no room for a tripod. Luckily, an Octobuddy, the suction-cup phone attachment, is the perfect fix: "[My] most essential tool is [the] Octobuddy phone mount, which lets me film almost anywhere. Most of my videos happen in my kitchen, where I attach my phone to the window in front of me."
Boos Block Opens in a new window Credit: Crate & Barrel John Boos Maple Cutting Board $94.95 at Crate & BarrelSpeaking of the kitchen, with such limited space, the tools that Gigone keeps nearby while filming are also essential. "Since my kitchen is tiny, I try to keep the counter space clear when filming so I have room to actually cook. My Boos cutting board is always visible in my videos," Gigone says.
Fuji X100VI Opens in a new window Credit: Fuji Fuji Film X100VI $1,599 at BH Photo + VideoBefore (and while) her content started blowing up on TikTok, she worked as a photographer. While that path has taken a back seat to motherhood and content creation, in a recent video, Gigone unboxed the Fuji Film X100VI camera, and I wanted to know a little bit more about her purchase.
"I owned the Fuji X100V when it first released in 2020 and really loved it. I sold it when I was building up my professional equipment, but I've missed having it. Now that I've streamlined my gear, it felt like the right time to bring a Fuji back into my collection. It's a great balance of being compact enough to carry anywhere but still capable of professional-quality images," she says.
Liffner Sprout Tote Opens in a new window Credit: Liffner Liffner Sprout Suede Tote $695 at Saks Fifth AvenueGigone graciously squeezed in time to chat with Mashable in between traveling. As she's on the go, she's got to have all her essentials in one spot: "Having a one-year-old means my bag needs to fit practically everything. My current favorite is the Liffner Sprout tote, which balances function and style nicely."
You can find Gigone on Instagram and TikTok under the username @tessmadalyn.
Jools Lebron is "very demure, very mindful" — and it’s the energy she brings to every piece of content she shares with her more than 2.5 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
She doesn’t need a lot to create her distinctive (and very funny) lifestyle and makeup content. But the few tools she does rely on? Very specific, and very her. Loyal to her iPhone’s front camera, she often balances it against whatever’s nearby — even, at times, her American Girl doll. Editing short-form videos on CapCut, you won’t catch her using a ring light. For long-form content, she levels up with Final Cut Pro on her laptop. It's all about low-key tools and high-impact creativity.
"Technology is so good," Lebron told Mashable at the 2025 Webby Awards, where she accepted the Crush the Internet award for coining the singular phrase, "very demure, very mindful."
Credit: Mashable Composite: Zooey Liao/ Image Credit: Getty Images/ Apple/ Sony Electronics/ Icon ScoutFrom a camera she’s obsessed with to the hand fan she can't live without, here’s what’s in Lebron’s creator toolkit.
A battery-powered hand fan Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon HandFan 6 Inch Handheld Fan $26.59 at AmazonWhen Lebron sat down for a fireside chat at the Webby Creator Weekend, she was holding her signature accessory: a battery-powered hand fan. It's not about the heat, she insists, but more about the breeze.
"There are four in my room right now," she laughs.
In the past, she used traditional hand fans, but they made her a little sweaty. Now, she’s upgraded to a sleek, battery-powered model that lasts up to six hours, and it goes everywhere with her. "I always have to have the wind," she says, making it clear that no video shoot — or creator panel — is complete without it.
Sony Alpha ZV-E10 Opens in a new window Credit: Sony Sony Alpha ZV-E10 - APS-C Interchangeable Lens Mirrorless Vlog Camera Kit $798 at AmazonWhile her trusty iPhone does the job for short-form content, Lebron turns to the Sony Alpha ZV-E10 when it's time for longer-form projects.
"I use a Sony ZV-E10 for my vlogs and long-form content. I like the higher quality. I love a Sony camera," she explains, highlighting the importance of capturing crisp, clean visuals for her audience.
The Sony Alpha ZV-E10 helps her create content that feels polished, no matter the setting. Whether it's a cozy indoor vlog or an outdoor adventure, this camera is her go-to for high-quality shots.
Macbook Pro Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple 2024 MacBook Pro Laptop with M4 chip $1,456.06 at AmazonWhen Lebron first entered adulthood, she was all about the phone; it was her one-stop shop for everything. But recently, she’s had a change of heart.
"Everyone told me to get a computer," she laughs. "I got the computer, had it for months, OK? Didn’t touch it."
Turns out, the "clickity-clack" of the keyboard wasn’t something she thought she’d enjoy. Fast forward, and now she can't imagine life without it.
"I feel chic now," she says of her MacBook Pro. "I love the clickity-clack." It’s not just a tool — it’s become a part of her creative routine, especially for editing long-form videos and staying connected to her growing fanbase.

Android 16 has just arrived, hot on the heels of the iOS 26 beta. Google is going all in on stealing Apple's thunder as well, introducing some new updates that directly correlate to iOS features.
While Google has historically released new Android versions between August and September, the tech giant confirmed last month that it would have an earlier June debut this year. That day has now come, with Android 16 landing on select Google Pixel models on Wednesday. Other Android devices will need to wait a bit longer, with Google planning to roll out the update more broadly over the next few months.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.We'd already heard a lot about Android 16 prior to this week. Google launched its public beta in January, allowing Android fans to get an early peek at the new changes. Now that it's out of beta, here are a few of the features arriving in Android 16.
Live Updates and neater notifications Credit: GoogleOne of Android 16's most notable new features is the introduction of Live Updates, which are essentially Google's version of Apple's Live Activities. This allows app developers to implement notifications which include live progress bars, helping users to keep track of time-sensitive activities such as Uber trips and food deliveries.
However, Live Updates isn't entirely live just yet. While this week's Android 16 release lets developers begin creating and customising these notifications, the OS won't prioritise them or keep them expanded on the always-on display until a later update.
Credit: GoogleNotifications from a single app will also be automatically grouped together, keeping your phone display more organised. This should mean you're less likely to feel inundated with an avalanche of information and alerts after putting your phone down for a little while.
Adaptive apps that go edge-to-edge Credit: GoogleLike Apple, Google's latest operating system also has a strong focus on aesthetics, with Android 16 laying the groundwork for its planned Material 3 Expressive update. This week Google's OS update forces apps to go edge-to-edge to fill users' entire screens, adapting to different screen sizes and aspect ratios. Previously, developers were able to opt out of going edge-to-edge, however with Android 16 that will no longer be an option.
Predictive back on by defaultAndroid 16 further makes predictive back on by default, where previously it was up to developers to opt in. Initially introduced in Android 13, this allows users to long-press the back button in order to see a preview of which screen it will take you to. Such system animations should make navigating your Android phone a little more predictable.
Scam protection features Credit: GoogleThis week's Android update also comes with a few new features focusing on security, specifically protecting users against scams. Android 16's Activated Protection includes various security features designed to shield users from an array of malicious attacks, whether they're from dangerous websites or scam calls.
For example, Android 16's Scam Detection AI tool warns users if it detects a suspicious conversation, focusing on common deceptions such as toll road, crypto, and technical support scams. It also has in-call protections preventing users from granting accessibility permissions which let others seize control of their device, as tricking people into allowing such access is a common technique among scammers. Activated Protection can be toggled on in your phone's security and privacy settings.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.
There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.
An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.
If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.
