Every now and again you come across a video that does just what you needed to do and is exactly what you were looking for. Bingo.
Thanks so much mate! I really appreciate you taking the time to give feedback. This is why I do it, to give back and contribute to the global knowledge and to interact with fine folks like you. I really needed to hear this today in particular so thank you so very much!
@@HillPhantom No worries. I live in a part of the UK that is still reasonably remote - as it can be for our small island. The weather can knock us off grid when it gets a bit fruity and whilst i dont need to go full prepper...its good to have continuity plans.
I just bought this for my camper van. This thing is really amazing. I’m currently using it in the middle of nowhere in MT and works flawlessly.
Your in my stomping grounds! Nice. It still blows my mind the places I can get it to work. Best piece of tech I have gotten this year by far! Cheers and safe travels.
@@HillPhantom I just used it this past couple days in the middle of Yellowstone National Park and worked flawlessly.
@@livefree_with_vinnie thats awesome. I live by YNP and I have taken it into some crazy places and it works so well. I am still blown away by it. Truly amazing tech!
Awesome review and advice!
Cheers from Miles City!
Howdy! Thanks so much for the comment, I greatly appreciate it and hope it helped! Cheers!
Thanks for the information. I'm traveling outside the country and was nervous about powering the mini. I picked up a Anker 737. I can fly with it so that helps.
Hell Yea! That's the idea, travel work, play, love it mate!
Thank you so much for this video! You answered so many of my questions about the Mini and in a way that a novice like me can actually understand. Now I'm just wondering if it will be usable for receiving phone calls and texts if I'm hiking in a heavily forested area without cell service. Any idea? I'm thinking it will be hit or miss. Also, did you purchase a Roam plan?
Hey thank you so much! So canopy is a thing and in regards to text and voice its not gonna be cell so if you dont have the ability to do wifi cell./text on your plan from your provider it would be a no go. But you can always set up google voice or the like or to be honest, have you looked into the SPOT? I use the spot ALOT. But yes heavy canopy is gonna be an issue. There are a TON of apps tho you can look at that you could still do voice and text over internet. If you need help happy to have a quick meet with you if you want, all for helping if this is a bit confusing. Cheers.
Shucks forgot yes I do have the roam plan, the month to month plan that I can shut off. I usually only use it in the warmer months. Cheers.
Will the starlink work if the solar panel isn't drawing in sufficient power due to clouds, rain, etc? Or will it just shut off , does it store power from previous charges? Or only draw power ? Thank you
Sorry if that was a bit confusing, you have to still run your dish off of the battery. When you plug add in a solar panel with a battery that has a solar charger, it has the ability to both power and charge at the same time is all that really means. Technically you could run it directly by a solar panel but it would be to inconsistent and would not work long most likely. Its also good to have a battery because it will provide a constant source of power versus jumping all over. End of day, sad story, you still have to have a battery. But the idea is this, battery to starlink, battery to solar panel. If the sun is out, it will both deliver power to the battery and also charge it. And in my case that typically means, in full sun, my battery does not dip at all if it starts out fully charged.
@HillPhantom yeah that makes sense , battery would be necessary to keep powering the starlink overnight. So the starlink doesn't charge and requires an external power source?
@@JinsTechh That is correct you will need to add an external battery no battery built into starlink
Fellow Montanan here wondering, can you fly with the Anker/third battery option? I'll be working remotely in CR soon and as the power goes out often, I'll need a backup option for my starlink mini.
Howdy! Sadly no you can't fly with that one only the first one. TSA requires under 27000 mAh that last one is I think 90000 mAH. Not sure how long your done there but you can ship larger ones and you can order them to CR. But sadly if you want to fly with it...has to be under 27000 mAh. Hand fun be safe Pura Vida!!!
How long will the Starlink Mini run off the 27000 mAh battery pack?
All depends on what you are doing but I got about 3 hours of streaming tv shows for example.
making it integrated is hella convenient, no more additional box and wire going there and here
I love it!
Great video didn't see the link to the charging cable you mentioned could you provide please
Thank you so much for that and for telling me, do you mean the cord that goes into starlink then to the USB?
@HillPhantom yes the barrel one you explained 5.5×2.1 barrel jack that you connected the starlink to powerbank
@@letmiggyb3420 here you go bruv www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C6DSS97R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Im experiencing so trouble with the 65w 27.000 mah , i thought that i bought the same short cable that you show, but i think is resetting every 4 minutes :( do you know what can be the problem ?
Can you link the same exact cable that you used ? Please thanks ❤
Sure I use a few but I find this one most useful. I am not sure why it would reset that is very odd. www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6DSS97R?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmikeva03-20&creativeASIN=B0C6DSS97R&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2HE7KGQH7CGHD&ref_=aip_sf_cur_spv_ons_d_asin
@@HillPhantom thank you
I'm wondering that the cable that i bought it's not the same as yours and is 65w and generic. So maybe the best thing , as you mentioned on the video , is to stay in the safe zone of 100w thanks for the Amazon link.
@@HillPhantom do you used it with the 65W imuto power bank? i bought that one . Thank you so mucho for the info.
I'm waiting for delivery on my Mini. My concern is how to secure it from theft. Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm going to use it in my Class C Motorhome.
Great question. I have seen some locking cases but yet to see a locking solution for mounts sadly. Hopefully we see something from starlink soon
Be warned this video may be out of date. My new Starlink Mini does not work with 65W batteries. I bought a 65W specifically because this video. I noticed Starlink updated their website and states min 100W battery which you can see on their support page.
I'm still using my 65w with it no issue 🤷♂️. Just used it 10 minutes ago. You sure it's not your battery?
www.starlink.com/support/article/0b2d5227-1db6-0002-ecee-f49d3b516b49
Also sure u got right cable and in right port USB c typically that is PD?
Did you buy the 30 W one perhaps? There are two versions. I am testing on the 65W not and it is updating so unless they made some big firmware changes ( which scares me bc they did file to up the W of the mini with the FCC) it should still work. I will let you know soon as this update is done if it still works on 65W battery bank.
Hi Hillphantom, is the Imuto 30000mah has at least 65 watts PD output? And wheres the link for the imuto 27,000mah powerbank thats TSA approved?
Hi I'm gonna mention you in another videos comment section with the link. Amazon is being odd where I share the link. Yes it's 27000 mah which is the max battery you can bring on the plane. I'll post it on one of my other videos comments. Cheers
If you go to this video I put the comment there for the link mate! Cheers. ruclips.net/video/nOD6TuePIWE/видео.html
@@HillPhantom thnk you Hill,appreciate it
I found your link but the Imuto powerbank 27000 mAh is only 35 watts output, is that the correct one?
Wouw dat Past gewoon in 1 Rugtas mooi voor Bushcraft diep in het Bos
het is geweldig voor dat gebruik. zo makkelijk om gewoon mee te nemen. proost!
@@HillPhantom Zou daar ook 1-Live Uplinl Radiosrteem over kunnen Gaan weet je zo of het VAAST Stabiel is de Starlink Mini
60 watts /12volt= 5 amper
27000 mAh = 27 Ah / 5 = 5hs autonomy.
50000 mAh= 50 Ah / 5 = 10hs autonomy.
Thanks for the math! Not my strong suit! Cheers!
Wow this blonde man is cute in the video
I thought the Mini requires 12v? A power bank is 5V.
Yup the 65 W and 100W power banks I have tested push out up to 20V via the USB -C. I can't speak for others but the ones I tested do work :) Cheers.
@@HillPhantom Thanks for the info. I will look for a compatible one to buy.
