Remote shooting with Capture Pilot

In addition to browsing and rating images served by Capture One Pro via a computer, the Capture Pilot iOS app offers wireless remote control, image browsing, and geotagging with Phase One and A-series IQ3/2 system cameras using Wi-Fi. Wireless streaming of live view is also possible in conjunction with Phase One and the Alpa A-series IQ3 100/50MP and IQ250 models. In addition, by adopting the Alpa smart device holder, an iOS device can be directly mounted to the A-series camera and used as an electronic viewfinder.

With Phase One IQ3/2 based system cameras, you can capture images, validate exposure and composition, and adjust ISO, exposure compensation, shutter speed, and aperture value wireless from your iOS device. Camera Control is automatically enabled when a Phase One IQ3 digital back is connected to Capture Pilot and is optionally available as an in-app purchase for other camera models (please be sure to check compatibility first). Only the aforementioned cameras can be operated directly using an iOS device, however, some other camera models from Phase One, Leaf, Canon and Nikon can still be controlled remotely, provided that those are tethered to a Mac or Windows computer running Capture One Pro (version 6.2 or later).

Please note that Camera Control has limited functionality with the A-series models due to their manual, mechanical features.
