Thousands of people have watched Ronica Rupan make her Cucumber Lime Mint Aqua Fresca, her Lemon Ginger Turmeric Wellness Shots, and her Citrus Herb Fire Sauce. Her fans are obsessed with her videos showing exactly how she makes her sleepy girl mocktail and her jerk roasted cauliflower, and that's not just because the recipes are great — it's because the food looks delicious and her video quality is that of a studio.

At VidCon 2025's Meta Night Out, we sat down with Rupan to find out exactly what she uses to create content for her 508,000 Instagram followers127,100 TikTok followers, and 47,200 YouTube subscribers.

Sony FX30

Ronica actually has two Sony FX30s, which she sets up in her kitchen on tripods.

"Because I film everything and edit everything on my own, and it's all food content, I need to capture all the shots at once," she told Mashable.

Aperture 300 light

She uses two lights — an aperture 300 light and a soft box — to ensure her food looks as good as it tastes.

"You gotta capture that cheese pull," she said.

DJI Osmo

She'll also include shots from her DJI Osmo camera, which she likes because it can capture a wide variety of angles.

Adobe Premiere Pro

Ronica said she edits everything on her desktop in Premiere— even content that's intended for short-form video.

"Even when I edit something short, I'm still very desktop," she said, adding that even if she gets footage from her Meta glasses, which she occasionally uses, she'll upload that to her laptop for editing, too.
