I downloaded this to capture self portraits remotely and paid £15 extra in-app however this feature doesn’t work, because it keeps crashing and all the shots are out of focus because the focus button is all greyed out, even-though my camera is capable of this. I tried troubleshooting but nothing works with this. Just settle for Canon Connect.

So I have been using capture pilot for self portraits and I was triggering the camera with it but it suddenly stopped working for absolutely no reason. Now it says no Camera connected and can't use it. The server is on, I'm connected to it, I can see the photos but no controls even though the camera is connected and turned on and capture one sees it and triggers it. But not capture pilot. This app just became useless and garbage.

I own a full version of capture one, have done for years and yet I have to pay for the ability to fire the camera from a remote device? Constantly crashes too. Still hoping that Adobe buys Capture One and makes it into what it could be by integrating LR with it!

I’ve been using Capture One for a few years now (having transitioned from LR which I’d used since it’s release) and absolutely love it and Capture Pilot which has been a particular hit during the pandemic. It seems that a lot of the negative comments here are due to people misunderstanding Capture Pilot’s role and so having unrealistic expectations of what it can do and I feel the need to stick up for it. I see it as an incredibly effective tool for collaborating on a shoot and have to say, my clients LOVE it. They can sit away from the shoot (Covid safe) and see what I’m doing in Capture One without everyone hovering around one screen, and provide instant feedback including rating the images, zooming in and seeing my edits and adjustments immediately. I can share all the images, or only the ones that I want to share. That the client can download the app for free too, is amazing. I’ve even worked out how to get it working remotely for clients who aren’t present (again a real selling point for my clients during the Covid restrictions). You only need the paid version if you want to include some basic camera functionality which I find quite handy for product shoots. This is a perfect example of an app which does a very specific thing extremely well and further cements Capture One’s reputation as the tethering king.

It provides a clean and simple interface to let loose on rating during a session. It allows me to control the camera and see the results while manipulating lights. And it’s pretty fast.If roofers are comparing it adversely against a rather fine application that comes from Sweden and works over Wi-Fi, well this isn’t for them. The strengths and weaknesses of the two are pretty well complimentary. For the tethered studio shooter using capture one this is what it says – a companion app.

I haven’t gone for the remote control paid version, yet, just the free remote viewing option. Very useful in these Covid-19 times for clients to be able to review images in real-time and keep our distance. My studio space is setup with the computer’s monitor close to me, too close for a client to also be sat by. Yes, it’s basic but it does the job.

Good for wanna-be-pro amateurs or maybe for the use of PO’s flag-ship digi backs. No context menu for rating etc. avail. To rate a shot i have to open it in single view, rate it and return to capture folder preview which then needs to be completely RELOADED EVERY SINGLE TIME. Really? Ever tried that with hundreds of images in one session? Sometimes breaking down sessions into smaller chunks is no option, so i expect the previews to remain in cache at least during one culling session on my iPad Pro. What has been apparent for many years manifests itself in this app, too. Phase One keeps trying to sell upgrade after upgrade (the desktop versions) after upgrade without ever sorting out existing bugs or making the base software smooth and truly professional. Despite all praise (i know there isnt anything else truly aimed at pros) this app isnt fit for the pro. Do your homework, Phaseone and provide excellent product improvements before constantly urging your users in expensive upgrades that do not provide any improvement other than cosmetic changes!

I made the in app purchase of £14.99 for the camera control settings. However 6 months on its asking me to pay again and I can’t access the controls.

I’m on the 30 day trial of Capture One on my Mac but I still have to pay £14.99 to try this app for remote capture. Not sure I understand because this app is useless without the Capture One server. If I don’t switch to Capture One after the trial can I get a refund on the Capture Pilot app? It should just be free seeing as it’s hard linked to the server requirement. No brainer

Come on! Download to device and ‘Open in” option please!! And the ability to add comments to an image would be great!
