Gen 3 Standard Pole Mount

I really like the robust mount, but ...

This mount made the most sense to me as far as attaching to a stationary 1.5"vertical pole, engineering wise. The pole inserts and the bolt through the pole assured me that this might survive a bad nor'easter or hurricane. However, I question the non-standard tilt angle of 8°. Starlink appears to work OK, but the permanent alert of incorrect tilt angle in the app sure is annoying and not very assuring. I would like to see possibly another version for stationary mounts that has the correct 20° tilt, available to purchase. Seeing as it is 3D printed, this could be done very easily in CAD.

Great for boats and RV’s

This works as advertised and fills a niche for those who want a pole mount for mobile use. I use it on a boat and it fits perfectly on the previous pole that my gen 2 dish was mounted on. It is a shallow angle – close to horizontal –compared with the standard Starlink mount so we get great down and up link speeds in any orientation, while still allowing it to shed rain and snow. Be sure you do not tighten it too tightly with the clamping screws (as the directions warn about) or it will crack. (I made that mistake with a previous unit and had to use a hose clamp to secure it.) Also make sure you use the through-bolt to secure it as suggested.

I'm using this on my sailboat. While I have yet to complete the Starlink installation and use the pole mount at sea, I have assembled the mount, using the 1-1/2" insert, onto a 1-1/2" pipe. I used a drill press to put holes in my pipe. The mount fit well. The mount seems very solid and I expect it to perform well under the harsh conditions I'm going to subject it.
