The BEST solution for the TERRIBLE design STARLINK Gen3 pole mount! 

Just completed the wall mount to Camco flag pole setup as described here. I can confirm it’s quite sturdy. In addition to the foil tape (3 wraps around), I did drill out to put a bolt through the pole and mount. Thanks for the video and tips!

This was a great help and thank you for passing the information along, sorry to hear you discovered the pole mount sucks "the hard way" but you've saved me and probably many others from the same fallacy. Hopefully you'll be repaid in positive karma (if you believe in that like I do). Crazy how Starlink skimped on the pole mount thought process, that recess should be at least 4 times as deep!

I like it, full time RV and needed some solutions. Well you delivered! Thanks for putting in the work and posting it for others to see.

Brilliant solution, and just the one i was looking for. Thank you!

Thanks for the help. Like you, my first thought was that this thing is horribly inadequate!

Thank you! This is EXACTLY what I needed to see. I was struggling with the lack of pipe mount options for the gen 3 and was wondering if I could use the piece from the wall mount and just attach it to a pole.

OMG! You are a lifesaver! I struggled with Starlinks pole mount adapter for 6 hours trying to get a pole to stay in it tight enough that it would stay. I totally agree with you on their very poor engineering of this product. I am ordering the wall mount right now! Thanks so much!

I just got my wall mount you suggested. I wont get to mount it until the weekend but I can already tell its going to work great....Thank you

Just wanted to thank you! I had ordered the pole mount, watched your video and was able to get a full refund from Starlink since it was still within 30 days. Got an email today that the wall mount has shipped!

Thru bolt is always a good idea for the wind that always seems to come up when you least expect it. I use one on my back porch umbrella. Great idea Brian!!

I actually had ordered the pole mount AND house mount so I could get a pole I incorrectly assumed would lock in to the pole mount…well as we know I was wrong lol I will return the crappy pole mount and keep the house mount as well and follow your process! Ty!

Nice idea. Looks great!

Looks great for when I get my dish for my Rv. Tks.

Okay Brian, I found you because I wad looking for a solution to my Starlink set up. Of course now I have watched a bunch of your videos. I am currently in the DFW area doing my modifications to my TT. All of my material arrived today and will try my Starlink set up! Thanks for the ideas!

Brian....First of all this is brilliant! I am doing pole mount at the house and hunted everywhere for a worthy pole. I never considered a flag pole...plus it telescopes which should help with all the trees we have!! I can't figure out if this is the high performance or not. I cannot figure out how to set it up. Starlink said I had to "drill holes"! Why would I need to drill holes, when the supposed holder already has bolts and holes. It's so confusing. Too bad we can't reach out to you to walk us through this. Thanks for the great video!!

I feel your frustration on such an expensive piece of equipment good advice 👍

That’s a dang good idea, thank you so much

Informative video. Checked out your channel for a follow up on this system in use in the field. Nothing so far.

I wish I saw your video before purchasing that useless pole mount. Thanks for the great video!

Good to know! Thanks

I’m glad I made the mistake of buying the wall mount, because after trying it out we will put it in a pole… thanks… you help me

Thanks for the great idea. This saved my lunch.

I have the Flag Pole Buddy telescoping flag pole, I bought the Starlink adapter from Flag Pole Buddy. It just came in the mail yesterday, I haven’t even opened the box yet. The Flag Pole Buddy adapter is $49.99 plus shipping ($12 for me).

Thank you!!!

Thank you for the tip.

That is a great idea! Thanks for a great video!

Thank you very much it helped.

great idea. thanks. now if i can just get this in 1 day before I leave for the ranch

Very good info, thanks!

Thank you

conrgats from chile, ty for the video

I have a gen2 dish I bought for camping to replace my portable weboost setup. The pole mount on the gen2 works great, it has 3 screws to push up against the pole. I use an Amazon basics speaker mount tripod as my dish holder as it’s portable and I can use it anywhere. Only used it twice, don’t really see a need to upgrade to gen3.

They must have redesigned the part since your video, as I had one today and it’s now 45 mm deep with two hex-drive bolts.

Heyy Brian thanks for the review, great idea a through bolt knowing you you always fine a salutation lol,thanks for sharing 😊

This configuration works with the camco flagpole. I returned the Harbor Freight flagpole because there was too much play between the g3 mast and pole.

Hello. Great advice. Could you list the products you bought, with regard to the telescoping pole and tape? Thanks!

Thank you! … now about that BLUETTI cooler 😁

Great idea 👍👍

This is a great idea and wind 🌬️ stable Thumbs up 👍

Do u have a part number For the wall mount

What is the OD on the stub of the standard wall mount and how did you separate it from the part that is connected to the wall?

Thank you, this is great information. Can anyone confirm, what's the inner diameter of the top of the Camco pole, and the outer diameter of the Starlink pole?

my nephew didn't get either mount with his gen3, so he ordered the pole adapter, has t been updated?

This is very helpful. I'm ordering the exact setup you showcased. Would you be willing to provide a link for the thru bolt setup you suggest using?

This is REALLY COOL, many thanks for sharing your idea. I am curious: is the wall mount 'mast' 1.5" diameter at its thicker point ( above your alu tape?) just like the old standard actuated dish arms were? it looks like it. If so, I can buy this and use it in my current fishing rod holder on my boat. Please let me know . Also curious about the length of that short mast in the wall mount kit, to know how deep it would go in my rod holder. Many thanks

Great video, can you please tell us the inner and outer diameter of the end of the flag pole you atted the dish too,.. many thanks

I have similar, almost, concern. I want to use the wall mount or possibly a different 3rd party all mount. but my concern is the starlink pipe adapter. so I think thinking of using the starling wall mount for that solid connection from dish to power. then try and find an alternative universal pipe adapter to create essentially a longer mast extension than what comes with the starling wall mount. In your case you just took the mask extension into the campco. I want to possible cut the extension, and insert a pipe to create a longer mast extension. Think that might work ?

So you’re not sing the regular home starlink for your camper? I’m wanting to get starlink for my fifth wheel and was wondering if I could use the home kit instead or the roam kit

Hi Brian- I just bought the Gen 3… brand new Starlink user. We have a rural business. I want to buy some sort of flagpole set up that I can put in the ground permanently. I was watching the video and appreciate the advice on the wall mount. Can you provide links for the materials that you bought? My other question on this might seem silly - does the flagpole nest and extend? The reason I’m asking is that can you retract the flagpole so that it’s short enough to put the Starlink on top and then extend it to however many feet tall you want it to be? Our plan is not to have the Starlink out all the time because there has been theft in the area. I assumed it will lock it up and when we arrive at the workspace in the morning, we will put the Sterling on top of the flag both the day and then put it back away. So I was just wondering , without needing a ladder if there was an easier way to to adjust the height of the flagpole for putting the Starlink on

Thanks for the information. Silly question, how does the Gen 3 with kickstand mount to the wall mount.. As I haven't seen this piece. Thanks

Just subscribed, do you have video that shows your whole camper pole setup in place?

I have a different flag pole than the Camco.. What is the inside diameter of the one you use so I can check to see if mine is the same.

Gen3? Will this work with the current business/performance dish? Same mount?

Wish I had seen this two days ago!

Starlink mini has the same issue. I can’t believe they expect $600 of equipment to cling to their design.

We have an under eve mount and also found it a hassle ..whats the diamider of the mount

Good job young man. Even i understand what you were saying and doing. Is that top mount metal or plastic? And the bolt going all the way through is a great idea. Thank You for sharing your video Jake McClellan The Oregon Boy 👦

The Flagpole Buddy mount looks like a good option too and a bit cheaper.

Do a through bolt definitely.

I bought the roof pivot mount but it come with that same base that goes in the dish, I was gonna drill it in my roof but I don’t wanna do that now so I’m gonna get a pole and just mount it on my porch instead

Are you able to turn the pole and then lock it in place for alignment once it is in the air?

What was the point of putting it on a flagpole? I was going to put one on my roof but am now curious if it makes a big difference because I have a lot of tall trees around my house.

What's the outside diameter of the wall mount shaft. I was going to buy the pole mount kit but no way it would stand up to the winds in south alabama. I have a existing pole I was going to mount it to

Does this also work with the Harbor Freight Flag Pole?

You’re a pretty clever fellow. I wonder if you could’ve cut out the plastic bottom of the gen 3 plate and drilled a hole in the top of your flag pole. That bolt would then go through both things

OK, I have everything and cant get the stupid cap off the top of the flagpole. Did you just break it off?

I’ll use your link. You should be comped! What’s the inner diameter of the Camco pole? It’s not mentioned on Amazon. And yes…THE STARLINK PIPE ADAPTER IS CRAP! You just saved me from ordering one. Starlink “Rocket Scientists” outsourced accessories obviously

good to have starlink in Texas

Agreed. The SL official pole mount is a joke. And it’s not cheap. I’m not confident that the SL mount is sturdy enough, so I’m going to do what is shown in this video, buy the other mount. Everything about SL so far has been amazing. Compared to our previous ViaSat, Hughes, ATT hotspot, ATT Fixed Wireless, SL is 10x as fast and more stable signal.

I'm putting you on blast on X and tagging Elon. Thank you brother.

No kidding I have the same thing and am blown away at the poor design of this adapter, this thing wouldn’t hold up under windy conditions

This is crazy, That will never hold.

As soon as you lifted that base to the camera 👀 and my head tilted sideways.. Damn, maybe Elon isn’t so smart🤯🤯

Smart

Why not tap and thread into the pipe instead of relying on compression. Or drill a hole in one side of the the pipe and use a longer bolt to go all the way through and compress against the opposite of the pipe.

Where there's a will, there's a way. 😊

😎👍🏻👍🏻

You should get paid for coming up with this. Good job.

One person here thx

-this isnt self adjusting you have top adjust the starlink , so how do you do that when it is high!!!

I hope Elon sees this!

from bad to worst, this will not fix the problem. . the base will no provide support on windy days or wind gust of 40 miles. we need the same base as the high performance dish incl. the 4 srew holes in the dish. So much for Elan Musk is smart [of hiring the right people]

Build your own and patent it. Some money to be made there.

Most people I follow on RU-vid that use starlink just sit it on the ground. Can you not do that with the new version. I understand if you have to get about trees but otherwise I would leave it in the ground.

Rats, I just ordered the $35 pipe adapter... and now seeing how cheesy it is, that's 35 bucks down the toilet.

Sometimes common sense wins out!

Musk and his bunch aren’t the greatest engineering bunch. Look at his Tesla cars. He keeps jacking the monthly price of star link….. Not for me.

Kind of disagree, they build Rockets, Cars, countless other extremely over engineered objects. Mount looks perfectly fine in my opinion. Glad you found a solution that you are happy with but sounds like you never even gave the one designed for intended purpose a chance.

if engineers had to work on the crap they design , things would be made way different

please tell me you figured out how to get the mast out of the plate, i tried pushing on the tab and it sound like it cracked, i want to take it apart for travel..thanx
