Is there a possibility to connect Capture One with android?
Can I connect tablet based on Android OS to Capture ONE using capture pilot? I'd prefer to use larger screen that iPad does.

As far as I'm aware, the current answer is no, Michael - but this sounds like an excellent candidate for a support case feature request. I'm sure you'll get plenty of support for it. 0 -
Why bother? Just to save what $100 on a lesser tablet. Get an iPad. In my rig I have many iPad 1 & a few 2's which all perform the same. Get a used one.
Apple is updating soon and the iPad 1's will be super cheap. Why use knock off anything on a set?

I can't speak for Michael, but In the UK I can get a basic Android tablet for less than £100 - the cheapest iPad is about £400.
Plus, I'm familiar with and like Android and its flexibility - there's nothing "knock off" about Android tablets, and you sound like an Apple fanboy with comments like that.
I wouldn't be using tethering on a set, incidentally - not all of us shoot in a nice comfortable controlled studio - I'm thinking about tethering as a way to get creative with my bird photography: being out in the field in often crappy conditions and wet locations is another reason to want a less expensive mobile tethering solution.
Finally, as a matter of principle I hate Apple's restrictive way of doing things.0 -

Silly, I can see you now in the rain with 7D, 400mm, tripod, laptop, tablet, cables, car battery, inverter, etc... but I see no reason why an Android version of Capture Pilot would not be well received.0 -
Well I guess birds don't care what you use but it seems 300 anythings isn't worth the stability an iPad would bring, not to mention an app exists already. As for cushy, Arizona &LA can be hell hot & dusty and I'd trade anyday for some rain & a bird pic with no clients, budgets, photog's egos & net 120 payment.
All that aside, why try to force Phase to reinvent the wheel just because not buying Apple gear is a matter of pride.
Come to the Dark Side!!

Hey, you guys seems a bit off topic!
The OP just politely wroteCan I connect tablet based on Android OS to Capture ONE using capture pilot?
Adding:I'd prefer to use larger screen that iPad does.
A simple answer (I guess would be "no" or "not for now") would be kind enough.
And BTW, the OP is certainly an Apple user as he posts here and not in the Windows forum…
He's just willing to have the choice for his tablet!0 -

To Steve Karr professional certified capture one professional:
give me a break.
have you ever used Android? it gives users tons more flexibility to get work done than the closed down system of iOS.
I had to send a client a 100MB zip folder and she only had her iPad and she had no idea how to accomplish that. You cant download and unzip something from a weblink on an iPad i guess. I was looking into ways of making it work until she gave up and said just wait until I get to my real computer.
I had an iPhone for 4 years before getting an android and I would never go back now.
and this is coming from a 15 year Mac (computer) user.
Its not a matter of pride - its wanting to use the tools that allow you to work the way you want to work - not by the limits of that iTunes vending machine.0 -

There are several Apps and even a workaround or two to work with zip flies on the iPad.
As I said earlier I believe an Android version of Capture pilot would be well received. Phase One chose to offer Capture Pilot for iOS most likely because all other tablet sales combined are a tiny fraction of the iPads out there when you add in iPhones there really is no reason to offer an Android version until you have a firm grasp of the overall market.0 -
The current Capture Pilot app for iOS is a reworked Leaf Capture Remote app for iOS which Leaf had out for some time already. I think that thanks to the existence of the Leaf app we now have Capture Pilot. Add the in-app purchase of Camera Control plus the assumption that Apple products have a relative large market share among photographers. That all summed up I am afraid the chances for an Android-based app are small.
For an iOS versus Android discussion there are many other forums on the web. 😁 There are some great tablets out there, on Android as well.
I am not into that kind of conversation by the way, I mean not being a A-versus-B type, but YMMV.
Back to the OP question, Android-based tablet users could always use screen sharing or remote management tools to view a Mac or Windows screen which runs Capture One. Just for a start.0 -
I can not understand only one thing. In the restoraunt next to my studio there are both iPad and Android programs to order susi, a friend of mine uses same GPS software as I with his iPad. Even a Massive Dev Chart software to develop b/w films is both for iPhone and Andriod. So it is possible to solve this problem. Also PhaseOne is an "open system" as they said, so why do they forcing me to by an apple product?
P.S. After reading this forum i ordered iPad and waiting for it to use only for capture pilot.0 -

Android and iOS are two different operating systems so creating an Android version means a second Android based application will need to be written. There are many Apps that have versions for iOS and Android as the developers of those apps believe they can make money with both versions.0 -
Michael-
One reason for this OS discrepancy is already answered in your question. Each of the software examples you mention use much less complicated code. Also, for the most part, the creative industry is geared towards Apple OS, whether computer or tablet. Any company is going to use its limited resources to benefit its largest client base. This is also why EA Sports and others do not write many games for Macs. Gaming users are PC based.0 -

By that argument, there shouldn't really be a Windows Capture One, should there?Any company is going to use its limited resources to benefit its largest client base.
Interesting point: and isn't it safe to assume that a significant number of Capture One's users are likely to own an Android tablet? I don't think there's anything to suggest that within the Capture One user-base there's such a degree of iPad dominance that there's simply no business case for Android "Capture Pilot" support.
Even if (as this report suggests) it's roughly two to one (27% Android tablets, 67% iPad), that's a hefty share of the market simply to ignore...
Note also that that Android's current market share of 27% increased from only 2.3% a year earlier - a significant increase, and a trend that I bet will continue.0 -
sorry to resurrect an old thread -
any update on capture pilot for android?
the Nexus 7 is pretty great - everyone on set who looks at mine - wishes their ipad was this size/weight.0 -
I agree, the Nexus 7 is pretty fantastic...
Patience will likely pay off in this case 😉0 -

with developers who release iOS only and say maybe android support is coming - i still don't get too hopeful.
but i've been using this:

it works really well so that you can see what you are shooting away from the computer.0 -

I again reference and stand by my winky face 😉0 -
Hi Drew - if its going to be released soon or if there is a beta - I could really use it on a shoot tomorrow. 0
