Nicole Laeno is Vernost aka Fidelity (2019)just 19 years old, but she has somehow managed to amass a pretty astonishing online community, with 5.7 million followers on TikTok, 3.7 million subscribers on YouTube, and 1.9 million followers on Instagram. And she's done it thoughtfully, with care, and with all the right tech.
At VidCon 2025's Meta Night Out, Laeno told Mashable that she shoots most of her content on her phone.
"My phone is always a great tool," she said. She uses both the front and back camera, but says the back camera has "better quality" and says using 0.5 is "great to capture." She edits her photos directly on her camera roll because it's "super quick and easy," and her content on Instagram's Edits.

Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon / Canon Canon PowerShot V1 She loves the Canon PowerShot V1 for plenty of reasons, but points to the fuzz microphone — a built-in three-microphone array — as one of the specs she adores.
Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon / Canon Canon EOS R50 V She says her EOS R50 V is "really cool" because it has a "vertical tripod." This camera is designed specifically for vloggers and content creators, so it's no surprise that the dedicated vertical tripod mount is an addition Laeno loves.
She uses her phone for more casual recording and the Canon cameras for "higher-quality, more produced content."
