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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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😊
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?
So what if I use it at sea sometimes? I use now the Explorer 510 from Inmarsat on sea and land. Also in the disclaimer is stated it is not for use on sea. It works fine. How about the Starlink mini? 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!
Do you need Internet to first set up. Let’s say I go somewhere remote open the box and I want to pay and start it with no Internet is that fine ? Or do I need internet for first ever activation ?
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?
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.
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.
If you don't have cell service in the first place, how can you open the starlink apps and set it up for the first time? I guess the apps should connect to starlink website to do its thing
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.
I m planning to buy a starlink for traveling to Colombia but could not find any customer service where i could have q better u understand of how to use it . I some many questions buy dont know where to ask?
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, 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.
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
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 ?
You could also mount a standard Starlink antenna to the roof of your truck, that way you can have internet while driving. I don't think the mini supports a mobile connection.
If you never had Starlink, how did you get the mini-dish It’s advertised as available only to those with an existing residential account. As an influencer, is Starlink giving you the hardware for free for a favorable review? I’m not a Starlink hater, I have a dish on my home and getting the mini tomorrow. Just want to know the angle.
How did you get the Mini without a regular Starlink account? (Friend / Grey Market). I just checked the Starlink site and I still don't see the option for the Mini. I've been waiting a year for it to come out and be available?
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.
The starlink nano is going to be even smaller. It has a built-in battery pack and is the size of a thick iPhone. It won't be released until all of the starlink V2 constellations are up. The larger variants that are going to be launched on super heavy.
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!
It seems like this could be plug directly to the 12V setup (fused)... Without an AC to DC adapter this should be very efficient and could be a nice permanent solution for overlanding, maybe a simple bracket that allow it to pivot and rotate would be a great addition.
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.
With the wifi built directly into the dish, am just worried about the heat the whole thing is going to take...i mean wont the heat affect the short and long term life span and speed of the thing?
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
Not "mega bytes per second", is "mega bits per second", one byte equals 8 bits. Data speed is measured in bits in 99% of various cases. (Only the hard drive transfer rate uses bytes.)
They now have a promotion going for the mini until early October for $299 for the hardware. If you bought it for $599 be sure to get a price adjustment credit.

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

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.

You don't need residential to get it.

@@rogermckinnon5738 That is no longer true. It was a requirement at first, but it has since been removed.

How much do you have to pay per month? And I wonder if you can take it travel abroad world-wide?
Have residential, Mobile and soon this. Starlink is incredible.
does it work while moving?
Can you mount this on the roof of a vehicle then not have to keep setting up?
I would like to know if the Starlink mini works well during storms
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.
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.
Starlink does have an unlimited in motion plan, but it's gonna cost you. Mobile priority is 250/m and is unlimited in motion data.
Def would like to see a video on mounting the Mini to your jeep, and what mounting products are market available right now for the Mini
price?
This thing needs be available to everyone at half the price and have a cheaper monthly plan or even better a daily plan.
The starlink nano is going to be even smaller. It has a built-in battery pack and is the size of a thick iPhone. It won't be released until all of the starlink V2 constellations are up. The larger variants that are going to be launched on super heavy.
Did you run additional tests for upload? As you tested?
Can you use it while driving?

Looks like I found my Xmas present. Cheers.
Is this on the starlink website already? Because I don't see it on there ,no where does it say the new mini starlink🤷♂️
How much does the full kit weigh? (wondering about the hiking aspect).
Awesome.
The first thing that popped to mind is where do i get a leash for my sunglasses, like yours??
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!
Yes, you need a subscription. In fact, I think the mini is currently only an add-on to existing plans. Hope that changes soon.
what the monthly cost for the mini service
what kind of sandwhich did u pick up
That’s one hell of a creator cameo.
😜
It seems like this could be plug directly to the 12V setup (fused)... Without an AC to DC adapter this should be very efficient and could be a nice permanent solution for overlanding, maybe a simple bracket that allow it to pivot and rotate would be a great addition.
The power adapter puts out 30V to keep the cord gauge small.
How much does it cost to use starlink
Awesome! I have a Gen 2 on the House - It's mobile but much larger. Good to see a smaller version!
Awesome unboxing vid, Jeven. Just a quick one : can I use it in China where free internet is banned?
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
Can you tell me about uploading video to you tube? Do you find the 50 cap hinders you at all? Thank you.
nice video! thanks! what chair are you pulling out of your jeep and setting up so fast?
Can you see if there’s a way to power this over USB-C?
Good question!
The power adapter puts out 30v. 20v is the maximum voltage for the current rev of USB -C
How much power does it use? Thanks
40 to 60 Watts
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.
I tried it in a small clearing surrounded by tall trees and it worked well. One needs about a 100 degree cone of open sky.
How did you have starlink mini by itself? I thought you need another starlink satellite to be able to buy the mini
Nope.
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 😂
With the wifi built directly into the dish, am just worried about the heat the whole thing is going to take...i mean wont the heat affect the short and long term life span and speed of the thing?
how much your monthly payment for that internet? including the device?
It might be hard given your local conditions but how about a test in the rain? Heavy cloud cover?
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.

Not "mega bytes per second", is "mega bits per second", one byte equals 8 bits. Data speed is measured in bits in 99% of various cases. (Only the hard drive transfer rate uses bytes.)

I have the RV version but the mini would be a game changer. There are many times I can’t bring the RV version because it is too bulky.
They now have a promotion going for the mini until early October for $299 for the hardware. If you bought it for $599 be sure to get a price adjustment credit.
No. The standard sat is on sale right now. The mini is $599.
