Starlink - Pros/Cons and power draw

I have two ways I mount my Starlink, depending on whether I am in the trees or not.

Like many I have seen on here, I created a threaded bracket that is mounted on my upper tent and bolted the Starlink pivot mount mount to it. I use this for when I am in the open without obstructions.

When not in the open, I like the flexibility of moving the dish for an unobstructed view of the sky. I hated the huge base it came with due to size and found this super cool 3D printed mount for a tripod. Additionally, I use that same adaptor for transport. I mount it to an L bracket that is mounted to a small molle panel that is attached to my drawer system. I merely unscrew it from the molle when I get to my destination and mount it to the tripod below. It is secured further by this.

I bought this tripod, which breaks down into a small package for travel. It holds the weight easily, even in wind. I got the tripod and the mount in 1/4 inch.

Hope this helps. I have had zero issues even in pretty aggressive off-roading. Works great!

Sorry for the bad pic.
