You might know Naomi Hearts from her hilarious comedy skits,erotice her mouthwatering food videos, or her head-turning fashion content — but chances are, if you’ve spent any time on social media, you’ve definitely heard of her. With 1.1 million TikTok followers, 116K fans on Instagram, and nearly 5,000 subscribers on YouTube, Hearts has carved out a vibrant corner of the internet all her own, and her audience is nothing short of obsessed.
Now in her fourth year as a Featured Creator at VidCon, Hearts continues to bring her signature sparkle and energy to the convention floor. We caught up with her at Meta Night Out to get a peek behind the curtain and find out what gear she actually uses to keep the content flowing.

Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon JISULIFE Handheld Mini Fan, 3 IN 1 USB Rechargeable Portable Fan $15.29 Let’s face it: VidCon can get hot, in every sense of the word. Like many creators on site, Hearts swears by her trusty handheld fan. "That’s all you need," she says. It’s her secret weapon to stay cool and camera-ready through long days of panels, meet-and-greets, and filming on the go.
When it comes to editing, Hearts doesn’t mess around. "I use an app called Videoleap," she shares. "I like it more than any other app, personally."
She uses it mainly to cut Instagram Reels and short-form content, but it’s powerful enough for long-form editing, too. For Hearts, it’s all about speed, simplicity, and keeping her edits sharp and scroll-stopping.
Apple iPhone 13 Pro $999.99 at Verizon No DSLR. No laptop. No problem.
Hearts shoots and edits everything on her iPhone 13. She says she "never" uses a traditional camera. She prefers the back camera for its higher quality, especially for intros and polished clips, but often switches to the front camera for spontaneous, face-to-face chats with her followers. It's a full-on mobile production studio in the palm of her hand.
