What is ShredCam?
ShredCam is a skate camera app for skateboarders who film themselves. It is designed to help skaters record clips, review them quickly, and decide whether to save or delete each clip right after filming.
Instead of filling your camera roll with missed tricks, long recordings, and throwaway footage, ShredCam helps you keep only the clips that matter.
Who is ShredCam made for?
ShredCam is made for skateboarders who film their own clips, solo sessions, flatground tricks, ledge clips, park sessions, street skating, lines, and tricks with friends.
It is especially helpful for skaters who set up their phone on a tripod, backpack, ledge, or fisheye setup and want a faster way to manage clips during a session.

Why should I use ShredCam instead of the regular iPhone Camera app?
The regular iPhone Camera app is great, but it is not built specifically around the skateboarding workflow.
ShredCam is built around how skaters actually film: record a trick, check the clip, decide if it is worth keeping, and try again. After every clip, ShredCam lets you save or delete the video immediately, which helps keep your camera roll cleaner.
How does the Save or Delete feature work?
After recording a clip, ShredCam shows you a quick option to save or delete it.
If the clip is good, save it. If you missed the trick, delete it right away. This helps you avoid coming home from a session with dozens of bad clips taking up storage on your phone.
Does ShredCam help save phone storage?
Yes. One of the main reasons ShredCam exists is to help skaters avoid saving unnecessary clips.
By deciding whether to save or delete each clip right after recording, you can reduce clutter, save storage, and spend less time cleaning up your camera roll later.
Can I use ShredCam with a fisheye lens?
Yes. ShredCam can be used with fisheye and wide-angle lens attachments, which are popular for filming skateboarding.
For the best results when using a fisheye lens, turn on stabilization mode inside ShredCam. This helps reduce shaky footage and makes clips look smoother while filming skateboarding.
Should I turn on stabilization when using a fisheye lens?
Yes. If you are filming with a fisheye lens, you should turn on stabilization mode.
Fisheye lenses can exaggerate movement and make shaky footage more noticeable. Stabilization mode helps smooth out the video while still keeping the wide skate filming look.
Where can I turn on stabilization mode?
You can turn on stabilization mode inside the ShredCam camera settings.
Open ShredCam, go to the settings view, and enable stabilization mode before filming. This is especially recommended when using fisheye or wide-angle lens attachments.
How do I clear the cache in ShredCam?
You can clear the cache from the settings view inside ShredCam.
Open the app, go to settings, and tap the clear cache button. This can help free up temporary storage used by the app.
Will clearing the cache delete my saved skate clips?
Clearing the cache should only remove temporary app files. It should not delete skate clips that you have already saved to your camera roll.
Your saved clips stay in your Photos app unless you manually delete them from your device.
Is ShredCam a video editor?
ShredCam is not trying to replace a full video editing app.
The main focus of ShredCam is helping skaters film, review, save, or delete clips faster. You can use ShredCam to capture the clip, then edit your best footage later in another video editing app if needed.
Can beginners use ShredCam?
Yes. ShredCam is simple enough for beginners and useful enough for experienced skaters.
If you are new to filming yourself skateboarding, ShredCam helps you build a better filming habit by reviewing clips immediately and keeping your camera roll organized.
Can I use ShredCam for street skating?
Yes. ShredCam works well for street skating, park skating, flatground tricks, ledge clips, stair sets, manuals, and lines.
It is especially useful when you are filming by yourself and need a simple workflow that does not interrupt your session.
Can I share clips filmed with ShredCam?
Yes. After saving your clips, you can share them anywhere you normally post skate videos, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Reddit, or your own camera roll edits.

Are there other apps for skateboarders?
Yes. ShredCam pairs well with ShredSpots, another skateboarding app created by Luis Calvillo.
ShredSpots helps skaters discover skate spots, while ShredCam helps skaters film their clips. Together, they support two important parts of skateboarding: finding spots and capturing footage.
What is ShredSpots?
ShredSpots is a skate spot discovery app created by Luis Calvillo. It helps skateboarders find and share skate spots.
ShredCam and ShredSpots are separate apps, but they work well together: use ShredSpots to find places to skate, then use ShredCam to film your clips.
Who created ShredCam?
ShredCam was created by Luis Calvillo, an iOS developer, skateboarder, and app founder.
Luis also created ShredSpots, a skate spot discovery app, and co-founded WhattaEat, a video-first food discovery app.
You can learn more about the story behind the app on the About ShredCam page.
