How can I record video/take pics on my iPhone without taking up too much memory?

I'm going to a concert on Monday night and I like to record little live snippets here and there (don't worry- it's allowed) -- but in the past, my memory on my iPhone gets used up WAY too quick.

Is there a way to save the videos/pics to my iCloud instead of on my phone? If so-- can you guide me how to?
Otherwise, is there an app that lets you do this?

Unfortunately there isn't a way to do that. You could try lowering the resolution & fps of the videos being recorded to get more space overall in terms of recording. 720p, 30fps video is fine I think.

You could also try clearing up some space in the meantime to get more space again. If possible offload some things at least temporarily that you could put back afterwards.

  • Why is my music taking up so much memory? I have a 32GB iPhone 4S and I have about 550 songs. Those songs amount to 10GB. My dad has the same phone with te same amount of songs but only takes up 5GB. The lengths of the songs are roughly the same. Why is it that my music takes up more memory?
  • Why is my iPhone taking up so much memory? I have an iPhone 16 gb with no music, and almost no apps (instagram and twitter, and I doubt that those are taking up all my memory). I don't have much photos and videos and I'm down to 1.1 gb.
  • Why is Cydia taking so much memory? I just installed Cydia on my iOS 6 iPhone 4 and it added 3.7gb to my iPhone. I have a 8gb (aka 6gb) iPhone 4 I checked installous and that wasn't it. Also I know none of that memory is involed with apps. I only use about 56 mb of memory on apps.
  • Videos taking up too much space on my iphone? I have all these precious videos of my son but my iPhone memory is so full now I can't even take a picture. I have tried emailing these videos to myself so I could have them on my computer but it won't let you and I don't have a Mac computer. Any suggestions on how to save these videos and free up space on my phone? I would like to put them on a cd but can't do that if I can't get them on my computer
