STARLINK MINI - Watch BEFORE You Buy - In-Motion Speed Testing, Setup & Off Grid Power

The Starlink Mini is now available to everyone. In this video Outdoor Auto test the new low power, extremely portable, satellite dish. We do in-motion tests with the starlink mini as well as stationary and even tests in tree cover to get to the bottom of whether or not this is the ultimate off-grid internet solution. We also cover the detailed specs as well as sort out some of the confusion around the Star link Mini Roam vs Regional plans as well as the potential for a Global plan.

Ive worked on call for my job for 20 years, meaning i cant go out of cell phone coverage without risking my income, this changes everything, thanks for the breakdown, im ordering one now.. ✌️

[jjones]

I'm buying one of these because it took me almost 35 minutes to watch this video in 144p with my rural connection.

Thanks for creating this video and sharing your thoughts. I am a lucky person. In 2020, my firm let me work remotely and then let me work remotely permanently. This actually allowed me to work from anywhere. I'm dedicated to my job but there is also a world of adventure out there. Instead of re-inventing/re-discovering how to connect, this has been truly helpful.

I run a business that I can't be disconnected from. This will work great for my short to weeklong camping trips to check in on things a few times a day. I especially like that I can buy data as needed.

Great Review, thank you! I am currently in the Cook Islands and our AirBnB recently installed Starlink, we fly here on Hawaiian Airlines, I am blown away at how great the coverage and quality of service is from Starlink. I am retired and we travel months at a time to remote places (Cook Islands, Africa, Eastern Europe, etc.) and internet connectivity is always an issue. I need to stay connected to pay bills, stay in touch with the children and grandchildren, etc. I am ordering this now for use when we travel. We do a lot of motorcycle trips and I love the form factor and small size, I can easlity take this on the motorcycle (we wil just need to pack less clothes). Thanks for taking the time to do all these tests.

This was extremely helpful and thorough review. I was literally one click away from buying but needed more info on it's capabilities. This was exactly what I needed. Ordered! Thanks!

I already have a StarLink Mini - as well as a regular StarLink at home. I live in rural New Mexico - and like you - I can only get really bad Internet services. So rooftop StarLink was a WONDERFUL thing. I'm a remote worker - and with this, I can work anywhere in the US (maybe in the world) - so rather than getting a couple of vacations a year when I can travel - suddenly, I can travel anywhere - all year round.
That said - my phone uses GoogleFi - and I can use it's WiFi hotspot feature to get Internet access from anywhere there's cellphone coverage...which is does work - but there are high data costs and the bandwidth is pretty terrible...so this is a quality/cost improvement - but not a TOTAL game changer.

Ok, I’ll probably surf too much while camping, but honestly this will free up places that I otherwise might not feel so safe. Also, on big road trips it sure is nice to be able to plot my travel online and research at night or in the morning while camped..not needing to drive into a town for service! I really want a cheaper unlimited package🙏🙏

[DonBurgard-qe]

Oh yes. Starlink Mini is nearly a miracle. I received my first version a week ago.

[RamonaRambles]

I live full time in my minivan and am often in places with little to no internet. No room for big starlink setup, Very excited to learn about this. Now to save my pennies!

[chucklemon]

As someone who's looking to live on the road/off the road in the near future, I'm stoked to see it's tested so well.

This is kind of a game changer. We've started setting up starlinks for some our our folks that work in remote areas (power line construction). These mini's will allow them to be on a right away and still have Internet. Added benefit is they can make a wifi call where there is usually no Cell service. Important for safety reasons and Satellite phones at the moment are still Very expensive. Good detailed video.

[suzee]

Very excited about this - I work part time (semi retired) but do have to attend about 5 or 6 Zoom calls per week. This is a game changer! We have been planning some longer road trips, and now I can commit. On the other hand, for fellow campers who use this so they can run their outdoor TV at top volume...please don't do that.

Thanks so much for this extremely helpful video.

I am ordering it to replace having internet at home and separate internet at my (own) office. This remote internet will follow me and will cost less than two separate plans, also allowing remote work. I realize I may have challenges getting signal in certain buildings, but maybe that will encourage me to work outside more often, weather permitting, or I'll just figure out what window to sit next to in each location. I will use the mini plan to be intentional about using the internet less often for better mental health. I like that it can be paused for months when internet is not wanted/needed. I am happy to get away from the big communications companies and appreciate this technological leap. Thanks for the good review!

[kamakaziozzie]

I got mine for the purpose for emergency communication out in the sticks. We spend several weeks every year fishing up in the Sierras. several hours from any signals. This will be nice to have.

[garybaldwin]

Best video for the mini I have seen yet.

This is cool. I've overheated my version 1 dish, it shut down and then restarted when it cooled down. This was once, on a stupidly hot cloudless day, in quite a few years of use on my roof.

[denachavez]

Thank you for this information. It made me want to buy it. I work remotely, but just part-time. So, it definitely won't ruin camping for me. I will only take it and use it when necessary. As a single woman traveling alone sometimes, it will also give me peace of mind that I have connectivity. :)

[BethY-he]

Literally the most thorough and informative video ever! Just purchased. Thank you!

Just a warning to other Starlink users out there. Starlink has a program that lets you pause your remote Starlink service (the $150/month one) and restart it when you are again travelling. However, they are no longer allowing you to restart your old service. They are forcing everyone into a new plan that has data limits. Not exactly a pause and restart as they say.
