Starlink Mini Roof Rack Mount - Suggestions / Request for Product

[Toot]

Hi all, I’m in the south east US for winter and after these hurricanes I got myself a Starlink Mini to mount to my dealer installed Rino roof rack. I’ve been looking for a mount that attaches to the rack.

There’s one option I’ve found from an Australian company, Outcamp, but it has two critical issues in my view; 1) it’s 3d printed so probably not very durable from a UV/wear and tear perspective and 2) it is just two clam brackets so there is no additional protection for the unit. All the other options I have found, of which there are many, are either magnetic, suction, or through-bolt. None of those options work as the rack is aluminum and therefore not magnetic, not flat so suction won’t work, and I don’t want to through-bolt. Owl and a couple others seem to make mounts for the standard size but again, nothing for the Mini that I’m seeing.

I know a number of you have added Starlink Mini’s to your rigs so just curious what has been done/what options exist?

I am using a Trio Flatmount currently with magnets direct to the roof, but will be switching it up to the Trio SpeedMount and mounting it to the crossbars of my LFD rack with some M6 hardware (the T-nuts will stay in the rack crossbars for when I move the Starlink over to our Sprinter, for which it'll go back into the Flatmount w/ magnets

Thanks! Unfortunately with the roof rack the magnetic mounts aren’t an option. I have the full rack which thoroughly covers the roof and is not magnetic I’ll check out the speed mount but so far the cross bar mounts I’ve seen aren’t big enough for the rack slats/cross sections.

I’ve just ordered one of these to hard mount on a Leitner platform:

www.strikerfab.com

Striker have a couple of other options that you’ll find on their site.

Starmount Systems out of CA has an option with a quick release base.

I’d also looked at drilling out/modifying the StarLink roof rack mount but decided I wanted something more rigid.

Please let us know where you land.

For those that like a spot of DIY , I just used a plumbing fitting and used an angle grinder to slot it for a piece of alloy bar , which then gets bolted to the channel of my FR rack. <$5.

Starlink makes a cast metal roof rack mount for the mini.

Is there any mount that attaches to the side grab bars and is good for travel speeds?

I don’t want a roof rack (don’t need to decrease my clearance, increase wind noise and hurt fuel mileage for something I won’t use.

Seasucker mount might work in a pinch, just want something solid that won’t damage paint.

The answer is yes - I came across one in my search. For the life of me I can’t find it again though…

Redirecting focus; is there a rino roof rack type mount of any kind?

Many manufacturers use similar tracks to rino so I’m very surprised there doesn’t seem so be an option…

Outback Comms has some Starlink mini products (including brackets), but they do appear to be flat mount rather than roofrack mount.
