After purchasing find out that though capture one and phase one were born from the same company, now the support for 100mp A series doesn’t exist. It was 6 years old you’d think the developers could keep it at least maintained. But after purchasing it (despite owning phase) doesn’t connect because connection error. Shameful execution!,
When trying to use pilot to preview images, while images are still ingesting from tethered camera, swiping through images will freeze pilot. If I attempt to edit images from the same folder as capture pilot previews-while someone else swipes, capture pilot freezes.
Never an issue with older generation iPads…
as a long time user of capture one and capture pilot, it’s frustrating to see that a newer iPad makes pilot worthless.
What is the point of having CapturePilot for the iPad when it requires a computer running Capture One?
Please give us an app that at least allows you to control your camera from your iPad while previewing the image on the iPad screen.
This should be able to work in the field without WiFi, just Bluetooth.
Manfrotto had something like this for a while but it seems that they have stopped supporting it.
By the way, I purchased a license for Capture One Pro v11 and have found it to be of little use. Considering that Capture One did not honor their promise of free upgrades for a year as one month after purchase and installation they went to v12 and I would have to pay another $300 to get the upgrade. Needless to say I will not be renewing my license when my current license expires.
If you must have a pro image editing package, go with Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop.
Myself, I refuse to be held hostage to a perpetual subscription model.
I now use GIMP in place of photoshop and it’s completely free.
The new version changed the camera controls and removed the drop down selection so for the camera setting. Now you must " rotate" the fake dials to make changes. Much slower and it’s iharder to use, plus it's easy to bump another setting by mistake,
Change is not always for the better. Anyone know howkuou I can revert to the previous version?
Really upset by CapturePilot. Currently trying to run on M1 iPad Pro and CapturePilot is constantly shutting off and force quitting itself while working with larger files. I paid to upgrade CapturePilot to use the camera functions but really not usable unless you just leave CapturePilot on one page and don’t click any images.
Clients were getting aggravated so we just started mirroring the laptop screen instead. Keeps freezing. Brand new iPad, and 2020 MacBook Pro. Needs to be updated. Unreliable.
CapturePilot crashes constantly and does not have any camera controls! When I applied an adjustment to correct for parallel lines on each image, CapturePilot 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. CapturePilot could be so useful if they can get the bugs worked out and add camera controls, or at least remote shutter control!
Paid for the camera control add-on which is too unreliable to use. It will work for a few minutes and then fail. I can't imagine how unprofessional I would look with a client in my studio and my remote control software regularly interrupts my shoot.
Even when it does work, the camera controls are rather limited (even compared to the desktop software). For example, you can't change the shutter mode or set a timer.
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.
One star for the idea.
One star for the idea behind CapturePilot .
Missing three stars for not being useable, not updating CapturePilot , and leaving it on CapturePilot Store so we waste our time.
CapturePilot is barebones, but I don’t require much more functionality than letting the client view and rate / make selects, however it is painfully hindered by its reliability in keeping good connection with the local image server from the computer.
Out of all the features of this program, I wish Phase One would put more attention to amending the reliability of this feature especially with the upstart of sets in the COVID era.
CapturePilot is extremely basic, it only has the ability to rate photos and strangely enough, set the white balance point, the sole editing tool on hand.
I use it as a way to play back my photos on AppleTV and a projector and for that it works very well.
CapturePilot allows you to zoom around the photo in full res, loading more of the original RAW file as required to fill in detail, which is something that is not possible via Photos or Aperture.
It would be great if we could access all your editing tools in Capture One remotely and perform edits as you review photos, maybe some day.
As it stands CapturePilot feels like a side-hobby project and slightly like abandonware, but perhaps Capture One will take it seriously and make it a differentiator for their product over Lightroom, but i do feel that it is better than their current 2.2 star rating.
I have CapturePilot running on a computer, iPad, and phone without issues. The reason for the 4-star rating is that it can't run on AppleTV for a wireless display.
I’ve worked with C1 Pro for years now and just added Pilot to my sets. It’s an incredibly useful tool when working with stylists who can walk around with my ipad and make adjustments to the set. Also great to have it on my iphone so I can view images when my laptop is not accessible. What would put CapturePilot over the top is it they made it live view compatible for Nikon. That would be a game changer.
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.
I shoot phase one iQ3 100mp and it will not tether to the laptop and then launch capture pilot server. Work around is usb to laptop and adhoc WiFi from the back to my iPad.
I was suspicous if this will work since the last reviews were sketchy...but I thought I give it a try. So far it works on my setup with the Ipad pro and MacPro 5,1 on High Sierra.
I was pleasantly surprised at how well this worked with my Fuji system and Capture One on a Mac running Catalina. Downloaded CapturePilot , started the server in Capture One, opened CapturePilot and it found the server instantly. $15 to add camera controls...and these work seamlessly as well. Very pleased so far!!
Few years ago it didn’t work so good but now it seems to be working really well.
Thank you.
I wish I could send a live view
Wow download this now. Free. Shows the images on the iPad at the same instant as the tethered laptop. Amazing!

Plus, combine Capture Pilot with the additional “Camera Control” in-app purchase to transform your iOS device into a virtual camera display, so you can remotely fire your camera and control essential capture parameters from your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
- Connect your camera to a Mac or Windows computer running Capture One Pro and use your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch to remotely fire and control your Canon, Nikon, Sony, Phase One, Leaf or Mamiya camera.
- Connect directly to a Phase One IQ2 or IQ3 series digital back to remotely fire and control your camera and check capture previews directly on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
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.
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.
