Question Tripod for Starlink Gen3

[Joe Hogan]

Any recommendations for a tripod to mount the Starlink Mini above ground level?
Looking for something more robust than those available on Amazon but still portable and compact.

You could probably get the pole mount adapter from Flagpolebuddy and then use a SAT dish tripod which I have but don't really use as I got the ladder mount for my dish.

This is the one we picked up. Not sure if it would work for the mini though - quite sturdy and stable for our gen 3 dish.

Apparently I use wrong terminology, mine is a Gen 3.
This tripod does look HD. Might just work for us.
My internal debate is do I wait for a roof mounted satellite antenna array or continue with the ground based antenna array.
Decisions.. decisions

Yeah, that is the dilemma. Know some who had theirs mounted on the roof at the mothership and worked well, even traveling.

Going to keep ours portable so we can move around as needed depending on the site layout.

I updated the thread title if in fact you have a Gen3.
