Starlink Mini Installation- 2022 LEII- Alternate Approach

[Jps190]

I also did the POE injector method for powering the Mini.  As far as mounting I initially had it on top of my flagpole but the ended up being a problem with the cable and the flags getting bunched up.  This is my current method for mounting on the Oliver.  It has been working great so far.

So, do you climb up and deploy the starlink mini each time you use it?

Thanks for the idea! I should do a magnet mount version, since I have power and Ethernet wired to the top of our tow vehicle. Our router is inside the TV too.

@SeaDawg raised one issue and the back of the Oliver is not level, so you have the get the mount angle to the north of course, and at the same time the angle off the horizon must be the same as the Mini kick-stand. Your mount has great flexibility but likely would take climbing up there a few times to get the proper angle.

Thanks again and best wishes.

Yeah, it’s pretty simple.  I’m 6 feet tall so I just stand on the Oliver ‘bumper” to attach it.  I put it together on the ground and once it is attached I fire it up and let it sort itself out.  Once it has figured its position I just reach up and align it.
