Starlink mounts vary wildly — from a $15 ground stake to a $200 engineered roof system. The right choice depends on your dish (Mini vs standard), your surface, and whether your install is permanent or portable. This is the master mounts index: one top pick per type, with links to full buying guides for each.

Standard Dish vs Mini — Know Your Dish First

> Standard Starlink (Gen 3): ~4.4 lbs, ~23" × 15" folded, 1.5" pipe thread mount
> Starlink Mini: ~1.1 lbs, ~11.4" × 9.8" folded, 1.5" pipe thread mount

Both dishes use the same 1.5" pipe thread standard. Any mount rated for the standard dish handles the Mini easily. The reverse is not always true — always check weight ratings when using Mini-rated mounts for the heavier standard dish.

Wall Mounts — Best for Side-of-House Install

Frequently Asked Questions

> What mount does Starlink include in the box?
The standard dish ships with a basic adjustable base for temporary ground placement — not a permanent mount. The Mini ships with a kickstand only. Any roof, wall, pole, or vehicle mount must be purchased separately.
> Do I need a professional installer for a roof mount?
Most homeowners comfortable on a ladder can handle a standard flush mount in 1–2 hours. Steep roofs, two-story homes, and metal roofs are safer with a professional. Local antenna or satellite dish installers typically charge $150–$300 for a standard Starlink roof mount.
> Can I use the same mount hardware for both my Mini and standard dish?
Yes — both dishes use the 1.5" pipe thread standard. Any mount listed above works for both. The standard dish is about 4× heavier than Mini, so use the full-rated hardware and verify weight ratings.
