Great video. I have the 59PX with the pop-up and no rack system, so I'd have to think about how I would mount it. But encouraging to see the successful install - you guys were due for something to go right!
Hi again! Thanks a lot for following along. It has been a good upgrade and not too difficult. Instead of a roof mount, you can always set up the ground antenna if you are not moving. We will do a follow-up on our experience with the starlink shortly.
I ordered a star mounts, magnetic mount ,its encapsulates the dish in a sturdy case with 4 magnetic feet, i can toss it on my van roof, then move it to my toolbox on my work truck, set it on my table while camping, it makes it very convenient to use anywhere, im using the DC type c coord amd powering it with a bluetti eb70, in my van, i installed a permanent power coord via a roof jack, and installed a 100w pd outlet from cool gear.. i love it, even working on oil rigs in remote places, our crew of 5 can all connect and have internet and phone.. amazing technology 👏 🙌
Great helpful video. After we purchase our 59PX next spring, I’ll be getting the Gen3 and a 90 ft cable and mounting the Gen3 to a magnetic mount. I’ll be working full time while we travel and need to additional download/upload speeds the Gen3 provided. If we’re camped around trees, I can move the Starlink out 90 ft from the van to get the utmost northern view of the satellites. Keep us posted how your mini works for you. ✌️
Thank you for watching and for the great feedback. Good luck with your Gen3. That setup seems to make a lot of sense in your case. And yes, we are planning a follow-up on the Starlink Mini after we see how it performs on the road. Happy travels!
Hey there! Thanks for watching and for your questions. No power issues with the mini. The only issue we had is that sometimes the 12v adapter wiggles loose from the van receptacle. Otherwise all good. Check video description for links to all products we used. Thanks and take care!
Hello! Thanks for the great question. For $50 per month, you get 50GB of data. If you go over, extra data costs $1 per GB. Is it enough? It should be for our needs. We plan to do a follow-up and will share our experience with service on the road and data usage.
You don't have to adjust anything. We will report back after we use it for a few weeks including testing it when driving. Thanks for watching and for your question!
Thanks for watching and for the suggestion! At the moment, that is not a priority. We use a Goal Zero Yeti in the van for 120v on the road, which we recharge after use from solar or when driving through the van 12v system. I would not want to place additional drain on the coach batteries with an inverter. Maybe if we upgrade to lithium in the future that could be an option. Thanks again for watching.
the camera is fine but there is something wrong with the audio in this video. these Rode mics provide much better audio than what we have in this video. way too much ambient "noise", I would experiment with the gain settings of the mic vs. the input gain setting of the camera. typically, a higher gain on the mics and lower gain in the camera works better as most mic amplifiers are better than most camera amps. as for the install itself, I can almost guarantee these cable tie pads won't hold up over time, the roof gets way too hot and the glue will fail. attaching the cable to the roof rack bars might be a better option. good video, though 👍
Hi there, appreciate the clarifications on audio vs video. We will experiment further with the audio settings based on your input. As far as the cable ties, I do have the cable secured to the cross bar in the middle also. I just used those at either end to reduce tension on the roof port and antenna. I'll keep my eye on them for now and come up with a better replacement if they pop off. Thanks and we really do appreciate the feedback!
Hi again, we appreciate you pointing this out. It is odd because that persistent background noise is not obvious during editing but as you shared, it is very pronounced in the final uploaded video, especially when watched on a mobile phone. We are working on investigating further and adjusting our settings. On our camera (Nikon SLR), when the external mics are connected, the internal mic is supposed to be disabled (no separate gain setting). Thanks again.
@@Outapkt you're not mixing in some external ambient noise in editing, right 🙂. I watched some of your other videos and it indeed sounds as if the internal camera mic is also picking up sound and mixing it in with your external mics. I have no Nikon camera and don't even know if this is possible. If these are the Rode mics, you can set them to record audio directly in the mic and then download it to your computer. this will give you audio tracks that are completely independent from your camera. maybe this can help you pinpointing where the ambient sound (noise) is coming from. you should also make sure - preferably - to NOT add any gain in the editing process because that will obviously increase the gain of the entire audio track, incl. the unwanted background noise. It is better to let the mics add the required gain as they can - hopefully - do it more selectively, especially if you play with the low pass filters and other mic settings. Sorry; didn't mean to lecture you, I am experimenting with several external mics and audio settings for well over 2 years and still haven't fully figured it out (so maybe you should not take advise from me 😀)

You guys have done a great job adding to the van and making it your own. Enjoy!
Thanks so much for the feedback! We are having fun customizing the van.

That's great! Thanks for watching and sharing the details of your install. Sounds like a great fit for your needs.

Hows that 12v power cord holding up…. I know the minis can be finicky with power.. any drops or anything noticeable with it? Link to the 12 plug?
Hey there! Thanks for watching and for your questions. No power issues with the mini. The only issue we had is that sometimes the 12v adapter wiggles loose from the van receptacle. Otherwise all good. Check video description for links to all products we used. Thanks and take care!
Excellent job. How's the signal when you're inside the van? Does the metal roof cause any interference?
Hi! Thanks for watching and for the question. So far, we have not noticed interference. We will post a follow-up once we have used it for a while.
Do you get enough data with the $50/month plan? How many hours of use?
Hello! Thanks for the great question. For $50 per month, you get 50GB of data. If you go over, extra data costs $1 per GB. Is it enough? It should be for our needs. We plan to do a follow-up and will share our experience with service on the road and data usage.
I don’t know much about the operation of StarLink. Does it require a separate router to connect devices?
No, the starlink mini has that built in. Thanks for watching and for your question!
Does it working goong down the road or do you have to get out and adjust it eqch time you stop?
You don't have to adjust anything. We will report back after we use it for a few weeks including testing it when driving. Thanks for watching and for your question!
I suggest your next upgrade be an inverter....

You need a better camera.
Thanks for watching and for the feedback. We are working with what we have for the moment and hoping to upgrade down the road.
