    Forgot to mention: Starlink does not provide any kind of wind rating for this mount. Like I said in the video, the part that actually attaches to your roof is rock solid with those lag bolts properly installed. I don't think you would have any issues in normal weather areas that see 40-60 mph winds.

    This video was clear and concise. For those that never have done an install on their roof, not only do you make it look so simple, but you enable us folks with enough confidence to do the job. Excellent video Colby.

    To fix the lateral wiggle I did this. Added layers of duct tape on the inside groove where the mount slides in. I added one layer at a time until the mount slides in nice and snug with no lateral wiggle.

    Amazing install video. The starlink instructions are not impressive as didn't reflect rollng the small square sealant tape into a ball. Glad you figured that out. Thanks for the instructions.

    great video! I purchased a gen 3 dish and adapter (each separately). Is there a place to buy the mast separately?

    • @StarlinkHardware
      @StarlinkHardware  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, the mast is only offered through the mount kits. If you bought the pipe adapter for Gen 3, that adapter is designed to attach to your own mount or pipe, usually some kind of 3rd party mount like a J-Mount.

    Can't you use a stud finder? on the roof, even with shingles I would think that would work.

    How difficult is it to remove the dish from the mount? I looking to be able to take the dish to different locations several times a year.

    • @StarlinkHardware
      @StarlinkHardware  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Super easy. You just lift up on the tab on the adapter plate and slide it off, then unplug the cable. It would be easy to take off the mount and then use the kickstand mount for traveling with the dish.

    Question: the cable just lays on top of the roof?

    • @StarlinkHardware
      @StarlinkHardware  10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes it can just lay on the roof. You want to avoid unnecessary holes in the shingles, so I wouldn’t recommend trying to secure it. It’s fine just laying there.

    • @StarlinkHardware
      @StarlinkHardware  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You must have purchased the Gen 2 Pivot Mount if it did not come with a mast section like in the video. I recommend reaching out to Starlink support to get the right mount kit shipped out, and you can return the Gen 2 version for a refund.

    What are your thoughts on mounting it on the side of the roof using the pivot mount?

    • @StarlinkHardware
      @StarlinkHardware  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It can be done if there isn’t any overhang between the fascia board and the shingles, but might as well just get the Standard Wall Mount if mounting to a vertical surface.

  • @ca40minante68
    @ca40minante68 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

    La recomendación es que empiecen por calibrar de su antena poniendo un tornillo no ajustado para que puedan mover la antena hacia diferentes direcciones y cuando la calibración del celular diga que esta centrada en toces prosigan al segundo orificio mientras no lo hagan como lo indica este video.

      You perform the alignment during the initial setup only. You don't have to readjust the dish.

    • @StarlinkHardware
      @StarlinkHardware  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      You run the cable from the dish, down the home exterior, and in through a hole to your router inside. I have a separate tutorial covering how to run the cable, which would apply to any dish: th-cam.com/video/046arFRpDig/w-d-xo.html

    • @StarlinkHardware
      @StarlinkHardware  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Based on my experience with other Gen 3 mounts, it can handle 50-60 mph gusts no problem. The difference between this mount and others is the mounting base that secures to the roof. It’s rock solid.

      It doesn’t fit this version, but Starlink sells a Gen 2 Pivot Mount. The install would be pretty much the same process.

    I'm thinking a Gen 4 will be out very shortly. Gen 3 seems very cheaply made and not so well engineered.

    • @StarlinkHardware
      @StarlinkHardware  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I wouldn’t count on it. The worldwide rollout of Gen 3 has really just started. The US got it in December, but it’s still only available in about 10 countries 6 months later. They will be producing and selling these for awhile. It also takes quite a bit of testing before a new hardware version is released. We saw FCC approvals months before Gen 3 was released, and there is no indication they are even working on the next version beyond just concepts and ideas. Also, the mini version is the next to arrive, followed by a new high performance. Next gen is at least a year and a half away if I had to guess.
      Despite being cheaper to make, it doesn’t affect the performance or functionality of the dish at all, at least in my nearly 6 months of testing. I don’t think there is any reason they would push up development of a new version.

    All that sway, according to the MANUAL that comes with this Mount, is a HUGE NO NO! Why do you sayings no problem when the company says it shouldn’t move AT ALL or you risk the destruction of your $666.97 antenna?

    • @StarlinkHardware
      @StarlinkHardware  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Like I said in the video, all Gen 3 mounts do this. It’s just how it is. No real risk to the dish from the minor play that is built into the mount.
