Features & Capabilities

Capture Pilot is the Capture One companion app that lets iOS users view, zoom, rate, and tag high‑resolution images during a shoot. It supports wireless browsing of Capture One Pro collections, geotagging, and real-time client feedback for teams on location or in the studio.

With the optional Camera Control add-on, you can remotely fire and adjust key camera settings from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tether to Capture One Pro, and preview captures on your device. This enhances collaboration among photographers, clients, and crew.

User Reviews

Reviewers note that Capture Pilot can greatly aid on-set workflows with real-time iPad previews, remote client viewing, and camera control when it works. However, its reliability is inconsistent due to frequent crashes, unstable tethering, and problematic cross‑device licensing and updates. The lack of ongoing maintenance undermines confidence, making it a potentially valuable tool only when properly functioning.
Pros
  • Real-time image preview on iPad during tethering, letting you view photos instantly on the tablet.
  • Remote client viewing and rating on iPad/iPhone, useful on set.
  • Camera control add-on can work across devices, enabling remote shutter control.
  • Good ecosystem compatibility with Capture One and certain camera systems (e.g., Fuji) for integrated workflow.
  • Valuable tool on set when functioning; overall useful workflow tool.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and instability; app crashes constantly, force quits.
  • Connectivity and tethering issues; can't reliably connect laptop, needs Wi‑Fi/hotspot; lag.
  • Camera controls are unreliable; in-app purchase sometimes does nothing or doesn't sync across devices; cross-device restore issues.
  • Lack of updates/maintenance; not updated for years; abandoned feel.
  • Cross-device licensing frustrations; per-device purchases and restore issues hinder workflow.

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.

This app will make you look bad in front of clients. Capture One has the audacity to charge its users every year with incomplete updates. They should be disgraced to not fix this.

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!,
