It was great to receive my OLPF Port Bushing kit yesterday afternoon. I'm extremely happy to finally have this flare guard in place.

What's more ... I thought it was pretty amazing that Red is shipping these free kits out to us FedEx Overnight, at their cost.

As it turns out, I could have waited a few more days ... but to some owners the FedEx Overnight shipping could possibly save the day.

So ... Cheers ... and thank you, Red. :beer:
 
Agreed. I've noticed a big difference on two camera shoots where my Epic has the bushing and the other Epic doesn't. If you have an Epic and haven't emailed Red for the bushing, I highly recommend it. Thanks again, Red, for dealing with this issue.
 
Are they rationing these ?
I ordered them for my pair of Scarlets, only got one today.
I asked if they can install one into the Scarlet that is in service now with a sensor issue, but they said it's a different dept.
 
Les, yes, different departments. I have another post on it elsewhere....

I have been told that they are on backorder so not possible to get it preinstalled in my Epic X before it ships.

I believe the permanent solution is installed in all the new camera's that are now shipping. The backorder one is the user installable version to those who already have the camera's.
It should be preinstalled in yours.
 
Hi Matt. That is not the case. I was specifically told that my stage 3 epic X would not have it preinstalled as the port bushing was on backorder. I am not concerned about it as I understand that it is pretty easy to install.
 
I have to remove the "red tape" and the little sensor guard before installing this right? Will that void my warranty, or is it okay for the olpf install?

I also recived the port brushing today. Thank you!
I like the flares and my clients to, so I have it ready when I get a client that don't like flares :)
Best regards
 
I couldn't find official instructions on installing these, so I just did it with out, just starting taking things apart and putting things back together. I hope I did it right. I grew up doing this to old radios all the time :-)

I don't think there are instructions online, but they emailed me some. You can download it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19432881/95...PF Port Bushing Installation Instructions.pdf

Received mine today and would definitely like to read instructions before I go near the sensor. Any chance of fixing the link Steve, or somebody else posting another?

That's weird. I just linked it today. They must have taken it down or something. Anyone that wants to email me, I'll gladly send them the PDF. stevenyager@gmail.com
 
Jan, the RED OLPF Port Bushing Installation Instructions document was attached to the email we sent you on February 3rd. Please send an email to olpf@red.com if for any reason you did not receive those instructions.

Can someone confirm for me if I need this OLPF port bushing or if it's already installed? Thanks.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if I still needed the port bushing because the wall was a rough, matte finish. I thought I only needed it if it was a shiny, reflective surface.
