- Bit of a disclaimer, do this at your own risk. The included mounting equipment is the safest way to protect your dish and other drivers on the roadway.
Today we are taking the #SpaceX #Starlink dish, powered by #jackery, and mounting it with a no-drill solution using 100-pound magnets.

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing this idea, and the testing that went along with it
Splendid!
Awesome!
very interesting idea! the 100lb magnet might be even stronger than the screws into thin top roof metal in normal installation! It could be a good idea to somehow connect the dish with roof rails so that it won't fly away to hurt others in case there is a disaster. You can even add two more 100lb force magnets holding the metal bracket against the roof. Would it be even easier just to connect the dish (i assume the bottom of dish is metal) with roof metal directly without the steel wedge mount bracket? The lighter the mass is, the less force is needed to hold the mass in place. Pls keep us posted on how good it is after 3-6 months!
Hello nice video. . I am new to Starlink I love your setup. Where did you get the Brackets to mount the dish? No the magnets the brackets that are slightly angled? Let me know I want to purchase. Thanks.
How much wind/driving speed has it been able to handle so far? Driving through palm springs for instance with very high gusts
whats is your ideal storm chasing car setup?
Well, how do you get it off the roof and not damaging the roof/paint? I get that you slideout of the mount, but I mean the whole thing?
When you ran the wires from the roof of your car to the inside lining of the hatch, did you worry about rain or snow leaking in?
Not really, been doing this for years with various roof antennas. The water-proofing on the door should solve most of the issues.
Thanks. What has been your go to power source? The jackery isn’t good long term. Have you used an inverter yet?
@@projectsonepercent924 Since I won't be running this daily, I plan on sticking with the Jackery. 7+ hours per charge on that unit.
I suspect those same magnets in m6 (1/4x20) will screw directly into the flat dish without having to use the wedge bracket.
Most likely, but the angle is helpful for precipitation runoff so I left it on. Given what I primarily use it for (storm chasing) that was an important consideration.
I wanted to see if you are still running the same mounting set up? If so, do you mind sharing the links to the mounts? I think I want to try this set up out!
Just threw the link in the video description. Still doing it and have been chasing winter storms and tornadoes with this setup!
@@NStewWX awesome keep us posted on the starlink
what happens if there is hail during a storm will it be fine
My old dish took baseballs without incident last spring. You can watch it in Live Life and Chase 2022 during the Morton, TX tornado day. I suppose they are built pretty well!
@@NStewWX oh wow that's impressive
how did you pass the wire through your car? thanks!
Just through the trunk hatch! I didn't do anything fancy.
Wonder what the other antenna at 4:23 is? Thanks
It's for my scanner, the Uniden SDS 100
@@NStewWX I think they are referring to the WeBoost cellular booster antenna that is on the magmount in the trunk.
Don't forget about the thieves
I desperately want to know why does starlink make the dish on an angle and raised, why not make it far more flush to the vehicle and flat.......? I get that rain and snow can go on it but that normally doesn't affect the dish much and the slight slope it now has isn't going to make 0 difference to rain or snow. Wouldn't the dish get a better connection to the satellites if it were flat, as like this it's harder for it to make a connection to the sats if the sat is behind the dish on the non sloping side...???? Stew?
