Nice video. I would only add that the loop you made at the bottom of the exterior cable rub is very important. The cable should always enter the structure from a lower elevation. Otherwise water will run down the cable and into the structure. If you are running the cable through the soffit or a gable vent and don't have that service dip, you will end up with water in the attic.

Hello, I work for a construction company in Japan with an installation record of over 120 Starlink units (about one every three days). Since the antenna kits and mounts discussed in this video are not yet available in Japan, this has been very informative for us. However, I would like to point out that using lag bolts (coach bolts) for mounting on the roof fascia alone may not be safe due to insufficient material thickness. It is recommended to secure them in areas with more substantial backing where the bolts can anchor deeply. Also, I strongly recommend wearing a helmet when working on ladders for safety. Regarding the original mounts, while they may seem less reliable, I am curious how well they would hold up against the typhoons that are common in Japan during the fall, which bring winds of up to 80 km/h (22.2 m/s). From my perspective, it is questionable whether they would withstand such conditions.

Thank you, great video!!!

Excellent video. Answered a lot of my questions and concerns. I agree that the Wall Mount looks cheap and will probably fail. Appears that the dish still needs to be oriented to the north. We have a gen1 and 50 foot trees to our North so it has never been useful, too much obstruction from the trees.

nice video.

Thanks bro!!

I’d like to mount like this, but somewhat concerned the fascia isn’t thick enough to support? Maybe a short piece of 2x4 screwed into the back to help deep sink the lag bolts?

I'm on day 3, trying to get answers to mounting by gen 3. Customer support sent me a video of a pivot mount kit, that includes a base and mast for gen 3. The pivot mount I purchased did not include the base or mast that attaches to the gen 3 dish. Starlink's SHOP site does not show one. Do they expect us to setup our Starlink Kit, setting in the yard, to get the support we need. This is the worst support I have ever dealt with! You send them a request, wait a day for an email response that doesn't address the problem. Then, send them another email and wait, how long for a response. With the cost of equipment, the $120 a month for service; this is the support you get!

Do you think the next generation of flat high performance is close?

Great video, thank you! I just ordered mine for my cabin. Should i expect the Gen3? I ask because i recently rec'd my Business/High performance starlink for business and i rec'd the Gen2 rather than Gen3. BTW, the High Performance is not near as easy to mount and assemble. Also if you rec'v the Gen2 high performance and wish to connect to a network you need an ethernet adapter. Gen3 high performance router includes onboard ethernet port. Just FYI to anyone who considering the high performance hardware.

What is the wind rating of that mounting? That bracket looks cast. Without washers I would expect it will crack at the bolts. The seating does not look deep enough and wind will pull that out of the bracket.

It sounds like you bought one of the Gen 2 wall mounts, which aren't compatible with the Gen 3 dish. You need the "Standard Wall Mount" in this video, which is a Gen 3 accessory. When you visit the Starlink shop, you need to select the Gen 3 dish to view compatible accessories. The Gen 3 Standard Wall Mount comes with the adapter and mast, as shown in the video.

It's survived the winter here so far! The mount itself is secure with the 2 lag screws. I found it nearly impossible to separate the mast from the mount adapter. Despite being plastic, I also trust the mounting adapter plate that snaps into the dish. The wobble isn't confidence inspiring, but from what I can tell so far, doesn't appear to have any affect on performance or stability of the mount.

Will Starlink give me the second gen anyway or will it give me a third one instead? As though it looks like the second gen according to the pictures and description.
