Watching Jack go at it with various tools was funny as, the wiring diagram Ant did made me laugh so hard, great vid guys you show just how easy it really is, one thing that might help the wifi range is an external 2.4 GHz antenna or glass mount, if doing this make sure the coax used does not lose to much there are brands out there that use RG58 on 2.4 GHz I found when working in remote areas in the 1990 I ran the Optus Sat phone was great, plus mobile was really hit or miss, I look forward to the next vid of Jack and Ants' Aussie Adventures. Cheers
Hi Jack and Ant, Good insight to how you have set it all up. I remember your video of when you cut the other ones up, as you say bit of experience and to didn’t muck about with this one, straight into it. Hope your drilling is going well 😂 ( well, I guess bore holes, not wells), ahh, the English language).
Watching you snip the cable ties; Use them a bit round home and got tired of snipping the ties. Grabbed a "cable tie gun/tool" off amazon. Makes it so much easier with cable ties to both tighten well, and snip off near perfectly flush. Much neater/easier. 25AUD. ymmv!
the ISP version of the Cube, hard to tell from here, but that is only 2.4ghz. So your performance would be a bit less then desirable, not like you need 300mbps down, but I thought I let you know you would not be getting your max more likely.
Yes absolutely, you won't get the performance from the starlink per device. But like you've said, for our use case we don't need max performance. Plus we have just a few of the ISP spare!
Awesome vid again! We want to do a flat mount to our Starlink for our Lap around Australia in a few months. Out of all of the flat mount you’ve tried out, which one do you prefer? I know the Antenna Accessories Mount is out of the picture because of its flimsiness! 😂
From what we've tested the Starmount systems have been really good, but going for something locally produced is hard to beat, and I prefer the build quality of the trackify over the outback comms units. We will be trying out another system for the New Zealand market soon
@jack_out_the_back hey Jack drifta camping mentioned that as of October 2023 starlink were limiting roam to 16km/h moving speed, catching on to everyone hacking dishy 2 I will see if I can find the link
is that AUD of US? @@jack_out_the_back (love your vids btw.... will be installing SL in my Thule Rocket launcher, then transfer onto the Sailboat).... thanks again gp
Off the cuff comment......Why not mount those connections on the arch bar on the front side .....which will allow ladders etc to rest over the arch bar and not destroy the connections.
Yeah, we've been flat out, drilling new water bores up on the top of the station so I was behind on my editing, but last night finished up this one and an up and going this morning to finish up a Starlink mobile system for the drillers.
@@mupdog9697 yeah, but we really want to get the timeline right, we did a job on the neighbouring station recently and want to get that operation explained properly.

I would put the aircube in the window since 2.4ghz would get eaten by the truck body.

Always good work , i look forward to your antics or Ants ! Very inspired by the tattoo on your Left forearm . Very fitting .
Thank you very much!
Just use a 300w pure sine wave inverter makes life easier

Strewth!
Ant looks like jack gave ya head a shine did he use Mr Shine
Sweet ✌️👍
What are the dimensions and weight of the trackify unit. They ain't big on details are they.
Great video. What starlink plan do you run ?
Mobile (roam) $175/month

What's this Optus direct to mobile stuff ?
Found it
I have a question: where is Ant's fly net?
I've been wanting one myself these last few weeks! We aren't sure, we actually had three on the go for a while.
Off the cuff comment......Why not mount those connections on the arch bar on the front side .....which will allow ladders etc to rest over the arch bar and not destroy the connections.
Yeah that's a good point, I didn't want to put the cables on too much of an angle. But protecting them better is probably worth more!
How many amp is the stepup
It draws around 35W and the starlink operates at 48v
Your up early

Then a cold beer will be well deserved this avo.@@jack_out_the_back
@@jack_out_the_back Drilling vid some time in the future?
