I have a brand new Rhino Rack Back Bone system with the rack still in the box that I bought off of Trail Recons Site for my Gladiator. I can't use it because of the rack on my shell. I'd be willing to let it go pretty cheap. I'm in South East Arizona Great video. I just ordered the Mini and can't wait to try it
Good news as I'm waiting for Starlink to be available in my country. But, it being too popular and monopolizing ISP industry won't be good no matter how good the service is. Hope more and more companies come up with this infrastructure.
I’ve got Starlink at work for my mobile office. You need to set that up somewhere out in the open (not right next to your jeep blocking half the satellites, maybe on top). It connects to satellites from all angles not just straight ahead. You will have better upload speeds and videos will upload faster. 😅
05:30 Mbps means megabits per second, and MBps means megabytes per second. To convert MBps to Mbps, you multiply by 8, so 1 MBps equals 8Mbps. He was getting 130 MegaBITS per second which equals 16 Mega BYTES per second download and 1.25 upload.
We’ve carried our Starlink all the way to Argentina in our Jeep. In North America we paid one price… then it jumped up to $200/month as soon as we turned it on in Colombia. A month or so ago they notified me that the price was going to jump to $400/month. Which is ridiculous, but I assume that’s just to push me over to the $250 plan that’s capped at 50GB… so $50 more for much less data (in countries where I can buy 25-30GB of cell data for around $10). 🤷🏻♂️ It’s nice to have, even though it takes up a lot of room, but for me it’s not worth it.
In my country unlimited data, calls and text for the whole month is $15. Also, you can buy $0.5 one day unlimited data, calls, and text $1 is for 2 days. $5 for a week.
@@everythingponyI don't know how it works now, but I know they used to charge extra for if you wanted your antenna to work on the go, or anywhere other than a fixed location.
So where are you located? You make it seem like you can just buy the mini and set up and go. If you are in the US, until it’s changed, you need to already have StarLink residential in order to even buy the mini and then you are data capped to 50 GB and the service can’t be paused so for someone who doesn’t know anything about the mini this video is misleading. Also do an advanced speed test so we can see the actual speed from the device to the satellites.
From what I understand, this is how they are handling the early phase of this product rollout. They are capping it as they increase production. This is also a product they are targeting for developing countries as a low cost alternative. The greater freedom for who can buy it will come as they increase the saturation of satellites for the density of the US customers. They already are having saturation issues in certain areas that limit speeds, which is why residential is marketed as non-mobile so they can track saturation.
Should be noted, you are getting mega BITS per second. At around 5:20 you say mega BYTES. There is a pretty big difference, but doesn't diminish the service, since we always measure in megaBITS.
Haha, he wish he got that many megabytes. Nonetheless, it's still faster than my home internet, which is already plenty fast. You really don't need 130 mbps down.
Great video. Thanks for all the detail. I would love to see more in the mini. Your video was one that I relied on to make my own Starlink mini purchase. Thanks
I just got my Starlink Mini. I'm able to get 177 mbps from my backyard which usually never have cell signal. Amazing tech. Also, very low power consumption. LOVE IT!!!
Excellent video! Nice to have more overland content in your videos....please test in-motion performance, as you know this is not a Starlink-supported feature for the mini dish, but it works with a Gen3 dish even with a residential plan, so it will work with the mini dish. I have my Bronco Badlands ready to install a Gen 3 dish on the roof, but I will wait for the Mini performance to decide.
Great video, as Desert Charley I think I'm going to get one. (Production note... please limit your swaying left right selfie views because I had to look away for motion sickness... gah) Looking forward to more of your adventures.
I guess something to save for 🙂 I like the small form factor, great for my van.... but not sure if I would take it on a multi day backpacking trip... sometimes is is nice to be offline. Cheers from LA
Great video, I know it’s a bit old, but maybe you can answer? We are going up to Tuktoyuktuk this summer, do you know if this does work up in Yukon territories and Alaska?
If you've never had Starlink, how did you get the invite to purchase one? Right now they are only offered to selected existing Starlink residential users as an add-on dish.
@@Cve979 I'm sorry but no that didn't help. It is not available for sale to new starlink customers in the US. Only in selected Latin American countries. It is in fact one of the major complaints of the new dish. If you have a link where this happens, can you provide it? Because this is contrary to literally every other person's experience wanting to get Starlink Mini in the US.
as a person who travels in remote aus and soemtimes on a motorbike this is a game changer i do have a main starlink that i have taken in my ute but this is truly perfect for portable outback internet
Do we know if we have to pay another plan for the Mini? or can I stop the connection at the house and use it on the Mini. Currently I just take the dish off my roof but this would be great for when I go camping
That is so nice. Prepping for a 2 year overlanding/dispersed camping trip out west: New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. Although, it doesn't look like this will be available for anyone in the US for a while. Hopefully by March 2025--that's when all my fun begins. Subscribed. Looks like you have great content I can use. thanks.
Harding truck trail has been closed since the fires about 5ish years ago (but its great for an ebike. Its about 10 miles up to the peak and i saw no other bikes on my way up and no cars picking up dust on the trail) Maple springs is the only way through to the peak in orange county. Indian truck trial is also open some of the time but spits ya out way over off ortega highway. Hope you had fun!
Fun video! Would definitely like to see more about your jeep setup as I am running a very similar rig and aspire to occasionally use it as a mobile office... to get out of the house or work days. It looked like you were using some sort of director's chair to be able to sit and use the rear platform of the alucab? Would like to know more about that!
I've been using Starlink's "standard" roam kit for camping. It's kind of a pain to setup with the large power supply, separate wifi box, and then the large antenna. I'm actually selling it now and going to buy the mini. So much more convenient. Since this is just for camping 50GB limit is not a problem for me.
Sounds great! Easy! In my overland car camping world I leave all that behind on purpose. But I know many of you are full time content creators and cannot be disconnected.
Great video! Starlink is a game changer for remote working. We don't have the mini yet in the UK, but I have just flat mounted the Gen 3 to my campervan/rv with the Trio FlatMount - video on my channel for the install, speeds etc. Currently using the EcoFlow Delta 2 to power it.
Would like to see how the setup is with trees, mountains, or canyons. I think I want to get one for my popup camper I live in San Clemente, recognized these spot real quick haha
Great video! Curios to know if this mini would work at a second home - where we want constant internet (to monitor temps, video cameras, etc) AND have enough power to stream video TV, normal internet surfing, etc. when we are at the home. Does this internal WIFI have the power to get through exterior walls of the home and interior walls between rooms?
Well, best bet is to mount a starlink on your roof, and then, route an ethernet cable inside the building which connects to a router with better antennas?
Great Presentation. Question: This video was exactly 10:00 minutes long. If you’d use your specific upload settings for this video, uploading using the StarLink Mini connection, how long would it take ? Secondly, how much of a difference, compared to your regular high speed connection at home, do you register ?
I would need this for going live on tiktok from the boat and from remote fishing locations too. I will wait to see for sure if it will work for my purposes though.
I would only use it if I need it for work. Otherwise one of the best parts of going camping is you're disconnecting from internet and social media. It's such a nice break to have.
This is really good and only option out in wild.. though how does this perform when you are moving, does it disconnect? Also what power bank can power this in hiking? Because 45-60W is quite a Power... keep it up😊
This is quite amazing...so won't the satellite dish thing is purchased, is there a subscription fee to use Starlink? Thanks. Love your Jeep homebase set up!
I think Starlink is the most impressive feat of technology in my lifetime. I'm an 80's kid so I'm including everything from the world wide web to generative AI in that.
Another fantastic video and one that is very relevant to my lifestyle so thanks a million! I too am a digital content creator and spend a great deal of time off road. My question is, have you done any tests on actually trying to upload video to a Vimeo or RUclips? It seems like it might not be practical, but curious if you have tried.
OTR Driver here, needing a 24/7 mounted in motion solution. I like the size vs bigger options but mountable and in motion are required here. If those work, I might jump on board.
1. Do you have to reorient the position all the time? 2. If you buy a normal (non-mini) starlink setup you then also have to buy a separate router? How much does that ad to it?
Obviously one would expect it to work in the kind of WIDE OPEN spaces you used for testing. The big question for me is how does it work with varying degrees of limited views of the sky. Very little info on YT that I can find which shows that kind of test.
When using Starlink outdoors, have you ever felt any inconvenience during the assembly process? Would you need any accessories that could make it easier to install it on your jeep?

How can you buy thiss!! This will be soo useful in the islands plz ?where can you buy this?.
I have Starlink for my business and never looked back...fantastic speeds, never dropped out..recommend for all...!
do you live in a place where it never storms or has trees?
@@kaeleib Yes...i live in the UK..so it stormy quite often and theres plenty of trees...
@@4hotographix then how have it never dropped out due to weather?
@@kaeleibweather like storms and rain isn’t meant to actually impact the connection, although it likely does in some cases
Good news as I'm waiting for Starlink to be available in my country. But, it being too popular and monopolizing ISP industry won't be good no matter how good the service is. Hope more and more companies come up with this infrastructure.
I have Gen2 and worked remotely for 3.5 months on it. IT WAS AMAZING. This new one is great to simplify the whole process.

It connects to satellites from all angles not just straight ahead. You will have better upload speeds and videos will upload faster. 😅
He literally said in the video that he plans to mount it on top of the jeep😐
@@ColinHD Yet he was timing it in a daft location, literally.
My Starlink Gen 2 has been a game changer up at my cabin in the middle of nowhere. Dreamt about having a mini 2 years ago when it was only rumored.
Thanks!

yeah, the prices are getting stupid. It was designed to get internet access for 'anyone' around the world yet its so expensive?
In my country unlimited data, calls and text for the whole month is $15. Also, you can buy $0.5 one day unlimited data, calls, and text $1 is for 2 days. $5 for a week.
WEIRD its almost like the scam needs to pay for itself
@everythingpony it's the cellular. Everywhere you go in my country, you won't lose the connection.
@@everythingponyI don't know how it works now, but I know they used to charge extra for if you wanted your antenna to work on the go, or anywhere other than a fixed location.
So where are you located? You make it seem like you can just buy the mini and set up and go.

Key point! This would be an amazing solution for overlanders, vanlife, etc. but the current subs are prohibitive.

This is also a product they are targeting for developing countries as a low cost alternative. The greater freedom for who can buy it will come as they increase the saturation of satellites for the density of the US customers. They already are having saturation issues in certain areas that limit speeds, which is why residential is marketed as non-mobile so they can track saturation.
Wonder if this just uses their cellular spectrum?
Would probably work a lot better on top of the jeep
You don't need residential to get it.
Great vid! It's good to know these things work like they're advertised, especially in remote areas.
Alaska, here I come!
StarLink rocks - extremely cool
Nice, thanks for this!
Should be noted, you are getting mega BITS per second. At around 5:20 you say mega BYTES. There is a pretty big difference, but doesn't diminish the service, since we always measure in megaBITS.
Haha, he wish he got that many megabytes. Nonetheless, it's still faster than my home internet, which is already plenty fast. You really don't need 130 mbps down.
He corrected himself on the pinned comment
@@vitaminb4869 dunno. For a single connection I’d agree. For a home using many devices I’d say more is better.
Here in NZ we use Megabytes.
What would be your total costs monthly? Including the device, plans, and what happens at data cap?
Go to their website.
Great video. Thanks for all the detail. I would love to see more in the mini. Your video was one that I relied on to make my own Starlink mini purchase. Thanks
Nice set up in the Jeep mate, greetings from an Australian off-roader
I just got my Starlink Mini. I'm able to get 177 mbps from my backyard which usually never have cell signal. Amazing tech. Also, very low power consumption. LOVE IT!!!
Nice! When is this going out to the public in general?
Can`t wait!!
The 50GB limit before throttling starts is a deal killer for me.
Would you be using it as your only means of wifi access?
How much do you need for a few days of camping?
Internet should be unlimited for individuals
@@vitaminb4869 A few days of camping? I am a fulltime filmaker and work remotely.

Really like the Wrangler. Which model, trim, and year? Also, what is the name of the back setup? Newbie here, thanks!
Can you see if there’s a way to power this over USB-C?
Good question!

Awesome unboxing vid, Jeven. Just a quick one : can I use it in China where free internet is banned?
Weird question, what kind of outdoor shorts are you wearing in the video?
What’s the camp chair you’re using?
Awesome.
The first thing that popped to mind is where do i get a leash for my sunglasses, like yours??
What are you using for table and chair in the tent? I have a similar tent and would love to start doing some work on my laptop in there.

It's good everywhere, at the beach and in the mountain. There, you don't have to watch a 10 minute video of him unboxing and setting it up.
Thanks for the review.
Do you think having it static on the roof would work or does it need to be aligned every time?
It has to be aligned each time
Good for you whit jeep and starlink 🙌
Can you use it while driving?

As a rock crawling overland jeeper you’re never gonna be finished 😂 just launch the video your basecamp looks awesome
Almost ready. Was adding a few key components this week
What power supply does it need? Is it usb-a?
Test it backpacking middle of no where how will you power it
When using Starlink outdoors, have you ever felt any inconvenience during the assembly process? Would you need any accessories that could make it easier to install it on your jeep?
So, is it possible to carry on the dish in a backpack and take a walk without loosing the connection?
I tried and it didn’t work well. Maybe a hat with it on top would be better 😂
Great video brother! Keep us posted. BTW, looks like you've lost weigh, way to go. 🤙🏼
