Always wanted to do this ever since Starlink came out. So cool.

[BillyBork]

So excited for a Cerro Gordo video!!!😊

[PocketUnv]

This video has a wonderful "hold my beer"-vibe and I'm here for it!

[NealNilsen]

Glad to see you out at Cerro Gordo, I hope your expertise will be put to great use.

It's a phased array (PESA) antenna... It is electronically "aim-able" very similar in practice to the radar dish that sat in the nose of the fighters I flew... at Mach 2+. So yeah, your SUV at 30mph on a dirt road is no issue. Being in a canyon with walls on either side is more of a restriction than your speed. And remember, the Starlink satellites you are connecting to are moving around 17K mph - so your speed, even on a freeway, is negligible. The dish syncs and switches satellites seamlessly. Up until now, I hadn't considered putting Starlink on the RV... because I didn't want to penetrate the roof... but I'm going to have to look closer at this mount and reconsider.

Great breakdown of how Starlink is changing connectivity on the road! It’s fascinating to see how RVers and truckers can now stay connected even in remote areas. Reliable internet like this is a game-changer for those needing to manage logistics or stay in touch while traveling across the country.

That's a lot of trust in the window seals of that glass panel at highway speeds. I'd be more worried about the glass popping out before the suction cups giving up with all the aerodynamics at speed. I think I'd feel more comfortable with the magnetic mounts to the roof.

Cool to see you at Cerro Gordo, excited for that video! 😀

[kdtqn]

yay! glad you made it out to Cerro Gordo!!

[bizzfo]

I know where you’re at. Cerro Gordo mine

[OLDMANDOM.Dominic]

NICE!! But you didn't mention if you enabled roaming/mobile on your Starlink account or not... ? It was to my understanding this would need to be done to move from a stationary setup.

For this trip/test what plan were you using for your starlink? Did you have to do the Roam with the Gen3 or were you on the residential plan?

[malianobrega]

What did you do about running the cable through the back window and having the window open the entire trip? Did you seal it off for weather issues? Please show more detail about that element.

[KonorSacks]

The answer is Yes. You would be surprised how well it works and says connected in some harsh conditions, I even know people who have them mounted on helicopters

[rhoderzau]

Were you testing on a mobile priority plan or just hoping Starling won't disconnect for using it at speed?

[david_does]

I can attest that those suction cups are impressively powerful!

[TheMyersXD]

Not against advertising the product but I bought something similar on Amazon for a fraction of the price. 90$ Amazon from a roof mount for my gen 3. Works the same as the video

[johnabriggs]

Seems like a good improvement from your first field test on V One Starlink which failed to work a few miles from your home years back. but with 6k satellites in the sky, one would hope it would too. Several Sail boat on youTube have done the same crossing the Pacific ocean for about 1500 miles too.

[LoyalKUtah]

what starlink plan are you using? I was told after October 2023 that the $150 mobile roam plan would turn off after 10MPH or faster. You would have to purchase the $ 250-a-month roam plan... I
am curious about which plan you used

[papirex]

Which type of plan are you using?
Will you find any restrictions on that?
