The new Starlink Flat High Performance dish arrived in the mail a lot sooner than expected. In this video I take a look at what comes in the box, the setup and roof mounting, and test out the speeds while on the move. The big question for me is whether or not it could handle video calls like Zoom or Google Meets while on the move.

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!!!

@johnstalnaker4408 Год назад

This is one of the most useful reviews I’ve ever seen. Thanks for the info.

@RevereOverland Год назад

Glad it was helpful!

@Wklambert Год назад

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.

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.

@peterholub7662 Год назад

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* 🤣😂

@RevereOverland Год назад

It isn’t usually quite that quick, since it usually takes a couple of attempts to get everything lined up 😂

Great video!

@RoamingLost Год назад

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!

@RevereOverland Год назад

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.

@RoamingLost Год назад

@@RevereOverland that actually would be interesting. There’s not much data on the two working side by side

@jeepncj7 Год назад

I dig that mount idea. I may steal that for my solar panel.

@RevereOverland Год назад

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!

@jeepncj7 Год назад

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).

@WillN2Go1 Год назад

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.

@RevereOverland Год назад

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!

@justsomeguy2943 Год назад

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!

@WillN2Go1 Год назад

@@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.

@justsomeguy2943 Год назад

@@WillN2Go1 That is SO cool, especially since KVH is SO expensive. Thanks for the response!

@Grbravo Год назад

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?

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!

@rachel7550 9 месяцев назад

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?

@mattkrea Год назад

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.

@roberts3889 11 месяцев назад

Do you have a link for the quick release camera plates? I didn't see it in the description...

@jed2055 Год назад

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.

@edwardsbrandon Год назад

@@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!!!

@jakethunder1447 Год назад

@@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!

@TheRevolutionWillBeTelevised 9 месяцев назад

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?

@overlandv10 Год назад

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.

Unless you put an extra cable and quick release on your other vehicle too!

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.
