The Starlink Mini ships with a basic kickstand for temporary use — it is not a permanent mount. If you want to install Mini on a roof, wall, pole, or vehicle, you'll need a mounting kit. Here's exactly what you need and which third-party kits are worth buying.

What Comes With Starlink Mini

Starlink Mini includes a kickstand base for temporary flat-surface placement and a 5-meter cable. No roof hardware, no pole adapter, no wall bracket is included. The mounting foot accepts a standard 1.5" pipe thread adapter — this is the universal standard for third-party mounts, which means the accessory ecosystem is large and well-priced.

What a Full Mounting Kit Should Include

>Mounting bracket or adapter (pipe thread 1.5")
>Fastening hardware (lag bolts, clamps, or rail clips depending on surface)
>Weatherproof cable management (grommets, conduit, or clips)
>Cable entry solution (roof gland, wall pass-through, or seal)
>Optional: tilt/angle adjustment hardware for optimal sky view

Surface-Specific Installation Notes

Roof Installation

Use lag bolts into roof rafters — never just into the roof decking. Seal every penetration with roofing butyl tape or self-leveling sealant. Run cable through a dedicated weatherproof gland, never just along the shingles where it will degrade from UV and temperature cycling.

Pole Installation

Concrete the pole base at least 18" deep for wind stability. The Mini's 1.5" pipe adapter fits standard schedule 40 pipe. Position the pole to avoid shadows from trees or the roofline during peak hours (9am–5pm local time).

Vehicle / RV Installation

See our dedicated Starlink Mini RV Mount guide → for vehicle-specific hardware and no-drill options.

Wall Installation

A J-pole bracket mounted to the fascia or a gable end is the cleanest solution. Run cable through the wall via a weatherproof gland. See our Starlink Mini Wall Mounts → guide for detailed hardware options.

PRO TIP: Before buying any mounting kit, open the Starlink app and run the obstruction check from your planned mounting location. Move the phone around to simulate dish placement. Only buy hardware for positions that pass the obstruction test.

Frequently Asked Questions

> Does Starlink Mini use the same mounting hardware as standard Starlink?
The mounting foot thread is the same (1.5" pipe thread), so many third-party mounts work for both. However, Mini is significantly lighter and smaller, so any mount rated for the standard dish is more than adequate for Mini.
> Do I need a professional installer?
Most homeowners can install Mini on a standard sloped roof in 1–2 hours with basic tools (drill, ladder, socket wrench). If you're not comfortable on a roof or need to run cable through finished walls, a local antenna installer can do it for $150–$300.
> Can I move my mount to a new location after installation?
Yes. The Starlink Mini is portable by design. Many users have a permanent mount at home and a temporary tripod or RV mount for travel. The dish works at any location — you're not locked to a single address.
