Whitney Leavitt, star of 'Mormon Wives,' emphasizes the significance of proper lighting for creating captivating MomTok videos.
Meet Whitney Leavitt, a TikTok sensation, mom of three, and one of the stars of Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. From a plane to a NICU, there's no place she hasn't TikTokked with her iPhone 15 Pro Max. With over 3.4 million followers across all social media, this Utah-based Mormon influencer known as part of MomTok has mastered the art of on-the-fly content creation.
Ever the busy bee, Leavitt swears by affordable gadgets that don't weigh her diaper bag down. "I'm always on the go, and I'm a mom, and I'm not gonna fit that kind of stuff in my diaper bag."
Curious about her secrets? Read on as she shares her content creation essentials and other tech she simply can't live without.
A Pink OctoBuddy Phone Mount
For filming her TikTok dances and lip-syncs, Whitney uses a hot pink OctoBuddy phone mount. She prefers environments with plenty of natural light, often choosing windows to capture her videos. "It's all about the lighting," she insistently remarks.
An LED Selfie Light
When natural light isn't available, Whitney reaches for her stupendous Newmowa LED selfie light. Following a glowing recommendation from TikTok megastar Alix Earle, she bought this LED light and noticed a significant improvement in her videos.
A Vacuum Suction Phone Holder
On the hunt for a tripod alternative, Whitney stumbled upon the VIBE USA vacuum suction phone holder through TikTok Shop. This versatile gadget comes with a vacuum suction mechanism and magnets, allowing Whitney to stick it to virtually any surface.
The Splice App
Whitney edits most of her videos in the TikTok app and then cross-posts them to Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. However, she also dabbles in Splice, another mobile video editing app she enjoys for its ease of use and resemblance to TikTok.
A Petit Moments Buckle Bag
Whitney keeps her content creation tools in her faux leather shoulder bag, affectionately known as her "everyday cute little purse." Alongside her Apple AirPods, cuticle oil, and a Chomps meat stick, she carries her essentials with pride.
