For use with photo editing software Capture One Pro, Capture Pilot is the perfect tool for teams and multi-user shoots, while clients can use it to review shots in real-time and better communicate with photographers. “Whether it is clients, make-up artists, wardrobe stylists or photographers, or anyone who needs to keep an eye on the shoot, Capture Pilot allows them to see every detail of what is being shot. Most importantly, it successfully engages the entire team in the photographic process." - Daryn Labier, Blast Digital Studio “In all, I’m extremely impressed with Phase One’s iOS application Capture Pilot. It enhances the creative process in ways that you won’t be able to predict.” - Mike Hagen, Nikonians --------------- KEY FEATURES --------------- VIEW AND BROWSE - Wirelessly view, zoom and pan high-resolution DSLR and medium format RAW, JPEG and TIFF images during a shoot. - Unique and easy-to-use rating and tagging feature enables clients or staff in the studio or on remote locations to participate in the shoot and to provide instant feedback.

Capture Pilot can connect directly over Wi-Fi to a Phase One IQ2 or IQ3 Digital back. Focus controls is currently only supported when used directly with a Wi-Fi capable IQ Digital Back running Feature Update 4. Capture Pilot can also connect over Wi-Fi to Capture One Pro (versions 20, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7 and 6) for browsing Capture One collections, or for control of supported cameras tethered to Capture One. Capture Pilot can use the GPS unit in your device to access and record location data. Synchronization of the recorded location data with images can happen either simultaneously when Capture Pilot is connected to a Phase One IQ2 or IQ3 digital back, or when the Capture Pilot connection is re-established later. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life, therefore a “Turn Geo tagging Off” timer option is available in the Capture Pilot preferences. You can download a trial version of Capture One Pro from www.captureone.com/en/download-trial
Router needed for stability
10x more stable when used with a proper router. Even connecting laptop & iPad to a Wi-Fi hotspot will improve stability. On Location, I’ll put a router in a backpack with a battery, & keep it near between the laptop & iPad. Closer to iPad, since laptop has stronger radio. But if your shooting fast, you have to expect lag and issues. Even capture one on the laptop with motor drive won’t keep up, regardless of iPad. It’s not magic.
Can’t we get updates?
Capture Pilot is really handy and yet they aren’t updating their own app for a long time. Why not focus on this app?
Can't get it to recognize on iPhone
I have Capture 22 and the pilot and can't get it to recognize the iPhone at all. Been good up until a few months ago and nothing happens now.
Useless with Fuji GFX 50s
This app crashes constantly and does not have any camera controls! When I applied an adjustment to correct for parallel lines on each image, the app crashed every time. Capture pilot with a laptop running Capture One works way better, but it requires Wi-Fi and battery backup for the laptop to make it all day through a shoot. This app could be so useful if they can get the bugs worked out and add camera controls, or at least remote shutter control!
Camera Control didn’t do anything
I paid $15 for the Camera Control feature and it did nothing to allow me to control my EOS R6.
20% of the time it works every time
Great tool to have on set… when it works, which is not that often. It’s beyond me how capture one has not improved upon this yet as it’s been a major issue for years now.
It’s outdated.
Capture Pilot is outdated with an old UI for a long time. I have no idea what they are thinking but I hope they add Capture Pilot features to iPad version of Capture One Pro. Because both viewers and camera control are very important. Otherwise, I wouldn't use this app at all.
