Starlink Gen 2 Ridgeline Mount Kit - Installation Tutorial 

I like, to, place commas at random places, in my sentences, also.

@@MadparkWorld What, an, edgy, reply, edgelord!

Thank you for clarifying 👍

You are so welcome!

Potentially. There is about 70 lbs or so total pressing down on the roof. There are rubber channels that protect the roof, there is no metal to roof contact. But anything super pliable and susceptible to dents or melting may be deformed over time.

I have a separate video on running the Starlink cable: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-046arFRpDig.htmlsi=sXxhpyPd3zyCvpFF

You can use magnets, the magnet fishing type. Incredibly strong.

Just add a tether, very easy.

Starlink doesn't provide a wind rating for this mount, but they've previously said the dish itself can handle up to 75 mph winds. This Ridgeline mount is held down by more than 50 lbs of weight, not including the weight of the dish and mount.

I have the same concern about wind rating and could not find any information about wind ratings for the ridge line kit. I just signed up for residential service with the RV dish. I live in MI and it does get windy during the fall-winter season, however, never 75mph winds. Very helpful, thank you!!

They don’t provide a rating then “but they said?” Hmmm, I don’t know. Kinda worrisome. I get 60mph like a dozen time a year. Isn’t there anyone who has actually tested this with a video?

@@silveraven1 It's not a big deal. Been through plenty of strong gusts and it doesn't move an inch. The truth is, the dish isn't that big of a wind catch in its normal operating position. And there is 60+ lbs holding it all down. The mount itself doesn't catch any wind. If wind is a concern, find another mount that permanently attaches. I don't know how anyone would test this with a video. All I can say is that mine has been installed since making this video, and it's been fine through all the spring storms so far!

Where can you buy this?

Should work fine, although the legs may not lay completely flat. This is the only version they make.

I'm in the same situation but I'm pretty sure the dish can rotate in all directions. I have my mount but no dish yet .

I purchased a wineguard 3000 mast post and attached to the north facing wall it cleared the 12" overhang with no problem. We used an old support arm from an old Direct TV antenna and it's really solid. The dish actually slid down far enough in the mast that i am hesitating on getting an adapter. It's really lodged in there and the cable run down through the mast so there's no tension on the cable. My location is GREAT with no obstructions according to starlink. we have amazing speeds. @@will_ren

​@will_ren Yes the dish moves in all directions as needed automatically. Mine is always moving by itself

I live north of Tulsa and that storm was wild! I'm going to purchase this mount and give it a go. I believe this mount would be fine in our occasional 60 mph gusts. We also might go a very long time without another 100 mph freak storm, so I'm rolling the dice. Besides, that's hurricane force winds and it's asking a lot for anything to be rated to withstand that. Even a hard mount.

I live about 30 miles south of the Texas /OK border on IH35 and we are in a rural area and get those gusts even without a storm. A storm just ramps them up so I was wondering if this was going to be a viable option for us since our 2 story roof is at a pretty good, steep pitch where we are probably charged extra by roofers every few years when they have to replace our hail damaged roof. 😂

They wouldn't sell it if it wasn't.

Yes, should work fine on a metal roof. It has rubber to protect the roof surface.

You need to log in to your account, go to the Shop tab in the menu. If you don't see it there, make sure you select the Gen 2 Standard Actuated hardware version, as the Ridgeline Mount is only compatible with Gen 2.

It’s not directly compatible with the new Standard dish (Gen 3) but you can use it if you purchase the Gen 3 Pipe Adapter.

Unless you attach a parachute to it, I doubt it! It’s very heavy, and the dish is very light. It’s not going to catch enough wind to be an issue outside of tornado and hurricane conditions.

I have it tucked down the side of one of the legs, and then it runs down over the roof, down the side of the garage.

@@StarlinkHardware So does it just sit on the roof or is it held down on the roof the cable I mean

@@Bears9McMahon It just sits on the roof, it isn't secured directly to the roof. I have it zip tied to the dish mast, and then secured with wall clips down the wall.

@@StarlinkHardware thanks

They still longer versions in the shop if you need a bit more length.

It's not available in all markets.

Log in account and go into the shop. It should be in there

The vast majority of people do not, although according to code, you should.

There are some 3rd party equivalents out there as far as ridgeline mounts go. I'm not sure why they don't offer all accessories in all markets.

Thank you ! Yes it’s a pity, really.

I would recommend Starlink's cable routing kit, and to go through an exterior wall, not the roof.

It doesn't lock, you just tighten it down. It would be a good idea to check it every now and again, but in my opinion, the design won't allow it to just fall over. The main shaft is "geared" so that, even loosened, it can't rotate without physically trying to pull the pieces outward. So even loosened, it wouldn't move without someone messing with the legs.

Use heat resistant silicone to lock it.

I’m not able to imagine what that is or looks like. But the mount can adjust to any angle, so it is versatile.

@StarlinkHardware my apologizes, that should have read tin roof shaped like clay tiles. Here in the Philippines it is called Corina tile metal roofing tin.

@@ABtoPh2022 Thanks for the clarification. I looked it up, and I would say the Ridgeline Mount would work fine. There is a rubber seal to protect the roof surface. It looks like there is an offset from the ridge to the roof surface on the Google images I saw, but it should still work. Worst case: return to Starlink within 30 days for a refund.

@StarlinkHardware Thanks for the quick reply. Just ordered the Starlink yesterday but I could not find that ridge mount on the app anywhere. Any suggestions on how to find to buy?

@@ABtoPh2022 It's on their website at shop.starlink.com. Not available in all markets, so if you can't see it in the shop, that might be why.

I've had this for a week now and the weights haven't even shipped. I've already placed the mount in a temporary spot on the roof waiting for them to arrive. I live in the Northern LP of MI. It can get a little windy but so far no issues.

I would throw some sand bags or something on it while you wait on the weights.

I set it up two days ago. And used some slate. Yeah mine was supposed to have shipped with all the other stuff I ordered around May 25th. Got to the last day (31st) and then shipping date shifted to June 7-13 but I’m not sure it’s even going to make that.

I'm using normal mount with sand bags. Works fine

Why not. It would work. It bends to form any ridge

@@StarlinkHardware Thank you! I haven’t created an account yet, which is probably why I can’t see it.

I'm showing it as available. It might not be available in all regions.

@@StarlinkHardware Thank you. i am in Canada, that's probably why. What is the price that you see on the website?

@@siwo972 $250 USD

@@StarlinkHardware Thank you for your quick answer

@YoYo-gi1uu oh nice! Thank you!

Do you mean the Wifi range?

@@StarlinkHardware Yes Sir

@@alkalimusa7564 It would depend on your home and what it's built with. For a typical stick built house, it would probably cover 1000 sq ft or so. If you have thicker walls, brick, or lots of levels, you may need to expand with a mesh system to get complete coverage.

It’s not directly compatible, but can be used with Gen 3 if you also purchase the Gen 3 Pipe Adapter to connect to the Ridgeline Mount mast area.

25-40 mph is not much. This mount and the dish itself handles that easily. I've had mine installed through severe thunderstorms with gusts exceeding 60 mph this season. There is more than 60 lbs of weight, and the dish is nearly horizontal. There isn't much to catch the wind.

@@StarlinkHardware thanks. I do like the east installation

40 miles per hour? Wow, you Cali people are soft. We call 40 mph a breeze.

It absolutely will. The weights are a combined 58 pounds. That does not include the weight of the mount and the satellite.You're talking over 90 pounds of weight. Also the design of the mount allows air to flow directly over under and through. I'm in northern Michigan and I've had no issues and I haven't even received the weights yet.

@@Whowannabeu thanks for the helpful reply. I have it installed now and it’s working great.

With 70lbs of weight. 😂u must be on drugs

Any permanently attached mount that Starlink sells, such as the Short Wall Mount, would be more wind resistant. They also offer the Long Wall Mount, Pivot Mount, etc.
