I work 100% remote. My office is almost done finalizing us being able to work remotely, anywhere. Starlink Mobile released about the same time... Hmmm, this might be the universe telling me something! Thanks Rob, this is really good info.
I've been browsing & researching so (SO) many expensive & convoluted solutions to mounting this dish on a car roof rack.... And voila. Chefs kiss. The perfect, easy, cheap answer that does exactly what I want a Starlink HP roof mount dish to do. Thank you!!!
My 2cents from a full-timer and 7 months on the road, and id say the original dish is great and more versatile. (we don't need to use the internet moving.) Can't justify the $2500 rather save it for fuel lol But this is an excellent video for those who need moving internet!
You definitely use it more than we do! Part of me wished I'd saved the money and just modified the original dish. I'd definitely like to test it out to compare.
Thanks for the video. I've just got the Dishy (the smaller one) on my sailboat and it works pretty good. I pay the extra $25/month so I can change locations (So $135 total). Last week I sailed from the coast to and around Anacapa Island and back and had a strong Starlink signal the whole time. In my slip in Oxnard I get between about 40 and 100 mps. My dock neighbor has the cellular phone internet plan (wireless of course) which costs less and gets about 300 mps I don't think he gets a signal underway or out at the Channel Islands. 40mps is generally more then enough to get HD Amazon streaming.
I'd love to get the smaller one strapped to the roof of my truck to compare the performance on a fast moving vehicle. I'm not convinced the big one is worth the extra money!
How was your video (streaming) AND audio (VoIP call) quality? Do you think you could use it to work from the boat offshore (Google drive access, Skype etc call)? THANKS!
@@justsomeguy2943 Hi just some guy. Works great. I have a 4K Apple TV box and a new 4k HD TV. Streaming is no problem. My connect speeds are usually below 100 mbps, sometimes as low as about 35, but everything still works. (& I've gotten over 200 as well.) Even though docked in the slip I get 5G on my iPhone, I always connect via WiFi , always more reliable. (Latency is minimal. I don't even think about it, but it's there.) I've used it under sail (6 - 7 knots but only my phone) and at anchor in the Channel Islands (about 15 nM from shore. Where I got 250mbps!) it worked well. Information is really hard to come by, best practice is to find someone doing what you want to do who already has it. I've video conferenced out at the Channel Islands and the only problem was the Google software/connect. I also have a MacBook computer.
Yeah it's a great idea. I have seen folks also convert the mc4 plugs for solar to a regular 3 prong extension cord (just using neutral/line) for quick deployment away from the vehicle (and have an extension cord that is dual purpose).
If it didn’t consume a lot more power I think I’d consider it over the regular dish I bought yesterday … was tempted to exchange until I googled the power draw. Id have to spend even more to upgrade my power system to be off grid lol. I do want a permanent flat mount though and don’t trust myself to diy so it’s stressing me out figuring out what to do 🤔do you think if you hadn’t gotten it you would’ve tried to convert the standard yourself?
Hello! Great insight. I believe you got an Alu-Cab Canopy camper recently (correct)? Curious how you routed the cable into the camper. I have one and am considering buying a starlink and mounting it to the top rack as well. Great tip on the mounts as I have some those already! Thanks!
Great video! We are going to get this for our travels. With kids on our adventures, this will be great. My buddy uses it as his home internet also. It is way better than the rural service we have available to us where we live.
Nice job. Very intriguing. I understand Starlink will be available for Central and South America soon. How durable are the panels against hail? Would you be able to mount on the tripod so it can find the strongest signal?
Everlander did an excellent video which you have prolly already seen. Goes to show that even Dishy can pick up plenty of internet while mobile, even under tree canopies BUT Starlink small print says it's a no - no for dishy to go more than zero mph while connected. Has anyone ever been booted off Starlink for doing that? Never heard of one yet.
@RevereOverland How did you get the bottom part of the quick release plates onto the Roof Rack rails? I am waiting on my in-motion dish to arrive in a couple of weeks and think that you’re quick release idea is awesome.
@@RevereOverland This who setup is really awesome. Do you have more details on the mounting and rack? I was searching for ARCA compatible racks but looks like you've just permanently drilled into the rack rails with those carriage bolts? That looks like a Prinsu roof rack which won't work on my 2001 Nissan Xterra. Any suggestions for something similar? Thank you!!!
@@RevereOverland I'd also be interested in learning how you mounted the quick release to the roof rack. Does this setup work on the JLU crossbars as well? Thanks a alot!
Thanks for the detailed review. It is very disappointing they do not provide a 12v power supply. Inverters are very inefficient and this company should know a 12v is needed in both the RV model and this model.
Since it's been a while would you still recommend this if I'm installing on a van? I'm really strongly contemplating upgrading although I can't guarantee I will always be parked in a clearing. I'd love to not have the little bit of set up and tear down between times where I'm on the go.
I'm considering the on the move internet just because its permanently mounted to my semi truck, I would only need it for a Roku TV, PS5, and a laptop. Im not a team driver, so primary use would be when stopped. Do you think the "while driving " system would be the best system as its permanently mounted? Or is the cheaper on the go system also able to be permanently mounted as well as i only need it for when i stop? Also, i know Roku TV as well as the PS5 use alot of Streaming Data, is the plan Unlimited Data? Or restricted to a certain amount of Data?
Curious as to why you got rid of the 4Runner and any advice on what you would and would not do if you were building another? Just started the build on my ‘19 Pro. Thanks.
I wanted something bigger and better suited to the long distance driving! I think I'd do a Dobinsons lift, some 33s, and basic CBI armor if I was to do it again with a 4Runner.
I keep giving some thought to this over my portable dish not because I want to use it in motion, but so I can just leave it on the top of the camper / for easy camp set up. But then the downside is I can’t take it in a different rig and keep talking myself out of it for that reason.
Ah I see....paid promotion from Pizza Hut this time. Need to insert that clip of you shouting in the desert for transparency. Just joking of course. Thanks for the good overview and testing on the road. Have been curious about this.
They say as more and more satellites get into the sky reception will improve which makes sense. Quick-release.....the theives will love them. Nice idea though.
Is it meant to be used while in motion or just a more permanent, remote setup? Would be nice if the unit itself was wireless between the antenna and router 🤘🏻 Maybe V2
I’m on the $150 a month mobile plan unless I have a lot of data to work with, in which case I switch to and from the $250 priority plan. It’s prorated based on the number of days I use it.
Great...just what we need....more distractions for the millions of a holes already tapping away on their phones while speeding down the road....weaving in and out of each other....lets go brandon🤡🤡🤡
This is one of the most useful reviews I’ve ever seen. Thanks for the info.

@@WillN2Go1 That is SO cool, especially since KVH is SO expensive.
Thanks for the response!
Thanks for making this, exactly what I was looking for.
very nice idea with the camera mounts. love the "mounting and dismounting is not exactly quick" *proceeds to to do both in less than 5 secs* 🤣😂
It isn’t usually quite that quick, since it usually takes a couple of attempts to get everything lined up 😂
I borrowed your idea with the mounts. Going a little different direction. I had someone make 3D printed covers for when dish is not in mounts.
Wow, like $2500 right now. Very tempting. Incredible we can have these options...
The ability to work anywhere is fantastic, but the cheaper dish also gives you the same ability!
@@RevereOverland yeah it's huge. I'm in Utah with open sky everywhere and work from home. Tempting to disappear for a while when kiddo is off school
This makes me really want starlink !
How did you power it? Did I miss that?
I dig that mount idea. I may steal that for my solar panel.
I'll probably be doing it for the solar panel I'm adding too, for exactly the same reason I did it with the Starlink dish!
Yeah it's a great idea. I have seen folks also convert the mc4 plugs for solar to a regular 3 prong extension cord (just using neutral/line) for quick deployment away from the vehicle (and have an extension cord that is dual purpose).

spraying the springs and mech with a dry graphite lubricant would help keep them functional and dirt free.
That's a great idea! It would help with water and dust.

What inverter did you buy can you link it? Thanks Revere
Do you have a link for the quick release camera plates? I didn't see it in the description...
@RevereOverland
How did you get the bottom part of the quick release plates onto the Roof Rack rails?

1/4-20 carriage bolts

Unless you put an extra cable and quick release on your other vehicle too!
@@RevereOverland hmmmm that is a good thought!
Is it possible to have the flat high performance dish, but just a regular roaming subscription?
Yes
This was great. Thank you!
a somewhat flat-dome shaped dish would work and look a lot better. Starlink needs to a better job. Just wait for the next update.
Ah I see....paid promotion from Pizza Hut this time. Need to insert that clip of you shouting in the desert for transparency.
Just joking of course.
Thanks for the good overview and testing on the road. Have been curious about this.
Haha! I wish Pizza Hut would sponsor me 😂
What brand is the enclosed ground shelter at 6:11??? Thanks
That's the Bass Pro Shops Eclipse Refuge 12' x 10'. Great for keeping the mosquitoes off you while you work/cook!
how did you manage the cable through your car? thanks!
There’s a gasket under the back passenger seat that I passed it through, then ran the cable up the back of the cab to the roof.
They say as more and more satellites get into the sky reception will improve which makes sense.
Quick-release.....the theives will love them.
Nice idea though.
The good thing about quick release is that I can pop it off any time I park it unattended!
The only reason I could see purchasing starlink would be if you’re living off grid or living in your car as an overland er and working remotely
Is it meant to be used while in motion or just a more permanent, remote setup?
Would be nice if the unit itself was wireless between the antenna and router 🤘🏻
Maybe V2
The flat dish is designed to be used in motion and can be permanently mounted. The original dish is designed to be used while stationary at camp.
Is this like a hybrid NZ American accent?
Rooter? Love you
Router. Is that better? 😂
@@RevereOverland yes. Yes it is.
Hi great video. How did you route the cords into your car?
I have a gasket under the back seat that I pushed it through
How much is the HP dish
I want to get it as well. Do you like?? is it worth of buying?
For working on the road, Starlink is 100% worth it. I'm not convinced the flat mount dish is worth the extra.
great video... thank you...... now about a year later, SL changed the plans.... what plan are you currently using. TIA
I’m on the $150 a month mobile plan unless I have a lot of data to work with, in which case I switch to and from the $250 priority plan. It’s prorated based on the number of days I use it.
@@RevereOverlanddo you feel performance difference between these two plans? thanks
Rooter???
That would be the correct pronunciation
Is that a South African accent sneaking out there? :)
Rooter?
That's how it's pronounced
Its cool but very expensive
Are you gonna keep your Aussie/Kiwi accent or go full Yank and the idea is to drag them to metric not go Stockholm syndrome. 😁
