The Starlink Mini Car Mount is a convenient and versatile accessory designed for secure placement of your Starlink Mini on car windows, sunroofs, or other smooth surfaces. Featuring a strong suction cup, it ensures stability during travel, whether in your car, RV, or boat. This mount provides a reliable solution for using your Starlink Mini on the go, allowing for seamless connectivity while you’re on the road or water. Easy to install and remove, it's perfect for mobile internet access during your adventures.

This suction cup accessory from Danklikt is a clever attempt to protect MiniDishie. Despite Starlink dishes being weatherproof there are hazards and disadvantages from mounting outside than can be mitigated if they are positioned indoors. These might include stormy weather with high winds and flying debris, parking under trees in an RV, being caught by a loose sheet on a boat etc. Stick the antenna inside, on a transparency and MiniDishie gets a lot more protection. My understanding (limited, I am not an expert) is that there is very little microwave attenuation through ordinary glass and materials like Perspex.In the RV case, an interior location means the dish can be easily removed from its travelling location and placed outside on a long cable where it will have a clear view of the sky.However, I can see a number of problems with the location and orientation of Starlink dishes in Danklikt's own photographs. The dishes work best when pointing at the satellites' track, and better in their general direction. There is much anecdote there is not a great loss of performance if they are pointed vertically upwards. They do not receive a signal if at an acute angle in completely the wrong direction. Bad luck on the power boat on the wrong track. Not all aircraft have overhead vision panels. What is the effect of the blades occultation in a helicopter. My current car does not have a sunroof, but in one that did the clear panel was lightly dotted with something to reflect sunlight. Would these dots similarly reflect the Starlink signal.The suction cups are immoveable when applied to a clean glass surface. The two arms which hold the Minidish do flex slightly and I really would prefer if they were more substantial. This is my only criticism of what is a very interesting mounting solution.
