Not all Starlink installations are the same, and neither are the mounts designed for them.

The right Starlink mount depends on how and where you use Starlink, your vehicle or mounting surface, and what you value most, whether that's durability, convenience, protection or premium design.

A field technician travelling on corrugated roads has different priorities from a caravan owner looking to free up roof space or a marine operator needing protection against water and harsh conditions.

That's why Spacetek offers a range of purpose-built Starlink mounting solutions, each engineered for different applications.

Why isn’t there one Starlink mount for every setup?

Different mounting styles solve different challenges. Depending on your setup, you might want to:

• Protect your Starlink from dust, water, vibration and harsh environments
• Free up valuable caravan roof space with a dedicated, adjustable mounting position
• Prioritise durability and longevity with a precision-engineered, corrosion-resistant mount
• Install or remove Starlink easily without drilling or permanent modifications
• Achieve a premium, integrated finish with additional protection and security

The key question is: What matters most for your Starlink installation?

Here is the simplest way to compare the main options.

Mount	Best suited to	Main reason to choose it
V-Cell Rugged Housing	Mining, marine, fleet and harsh remote environments	IP68-rated protection against water, dust, spray, vibration and exposure
Telescopic Pole Mount	Caravans, RVs, campsites and parked setups	Space-saving installation with adjustable height
In-Motion Mount	4WDs, utes, vans and work vehicles	Precision-engineered durability and long-term reliability
Magnetic Mount	Starlink Mini on suitable steel surfaces	Convenient, easy installation with four oversized magnets included
Stealth Mount	Premium 4WDs, touring, caravans and work vehicles	Premium enclosed aluminium design, protection and security

Which Starlink models are compatible with each mount?

Not every Starlink mount fits every terminal. Before choosing a mounting solution, confirm which Starlink model you own, as different generations have different dimensions and mounting requirements.

Note: Compatibility indicates that a model-specific version is available. Different Starlink models may require separate products or SKUs. Always select the version designed for your terminal.

Important: Compatibility with your Starlink terminal does not automatically mean compatibility with your vehicle or mounting surface. Always check the required installation hardware and select the correct model variant before ordering.

1. V-Cell Rugged Housing: when protecting Starlink is the priority

The V-Cell Rugged Housing serves a different purpose from a conventional Starlink mounting bracket.

Rather than simply securing the Starlink terminal to a vehicle or structure, it provides a rugged, IP68-rated protective enclosure engineered for demanding environments.

Designed for exposed installations, the V-Cell protects the Starlink terminal against dust, heavy rain, water spray, vibration and harsh operating conditions.

With an IP68 rating, the V-Cell offers complete protection against dust ingress and protection against water immersion under specified test conditions. It has also successfully completed a 30-minute water submersion test, providing added confidence for installations where water exposure is a significant concern.

Best suited to

• mining vehicles
• commercial fleets
• remote field vehicles
• marine applications
• workboats
• heavy machinery
• remote worksites
• site huts
• exposed commercial installations
• wet or high-spray environments
• demanding fleet applications

Choose this if

Starlink is part of an operational setup where protecting the terminal is a bigger concern than simply keeping the installation low-profile.

For example, there is a major difference between Starlink Mini being used occasionally on a weekend touring vehicle and Starlink being installed on machinery, a workboat or a fleet vehicle that operates every day around dust, water, vibration and harsh conditions.

The V-Cell provides a rugged protective enclosure around the Starlink terminal.

Its 30-minute water submersion test also makes it particularly relevant where the installation may be exposed to:

• heavy rain
• spray
• washdown conditions
• marine environments
• dust
• mud
• vibration
• harsh remote-site conditions

Important: the V-Cell still needs mounting hardware

The V-Cell protects Starlink, but it is not the structural attachment to the vehicle or building by itself.

You still need to decide how the complete housing will attach to your setup.

Depending on the installation, that may involve:

• roof-rack mounting
• platform mounting
• mechanical fastening
• suitable magnetic mounting
• machinery mounting
• canopy mounting
• marine mounting
• another purpose-designed structural attachment

The correct method depends on the final application.

The housing, cable entry, mounting hardware and installation method all need to work together.

Simple rule: If your main problem is protecting Starlink from water, dust, vibration and harsh operating conditions, start with the V-Cell and then choose suitable mounting hardware for the installation.

2. Telescopic Pole Mount: for a practical, space-saving caravan setup

The Telescopic Pole Mount is designed for caravan and RV owners who want a convenient, dedicated place to install Starlink without taking up valuable roof space.

With caravan rooftops often crowded by solar panels, air conditioners, roof hatches and other equipment, finding a suitable location for Starlink can be challenging.

The Spacetek Telescopic Pole Mount solves this by providing a lightweight, retractable mounting solution that attaches to the caravan or RV, keeping Starlink elevated and out of the way while parked.

Constructed from carbon fibre with CNC-machined mounting components, the pole extends from approximately 1 metre to 3 metres, allowing you to adjust the height to suit your setup. When it's time to travel, the pole retracts for convenient storage.

Different kit configurations are available for Starlink Mini, Gen 2 and Standard Gen 3/V4.

Best suited to

 

• Caravans and RVs with limited roof space
• Off-grid touring setups with rooftop solar panels
• Travellers who want a neat, dedicated Starlink mounting position
• Campsites where ground-level Starlink placement is impractical
• Owners who prefer keeping their Starlink dish and cables off the ground
• Setups where adjustable height helps improve sky visibility

Choose this if

You want Starlink mounted neatly alongside your caravan rather than occupying roof space or sitting on the ground.

For example, your caravan roof may already be covered in solar panels, leaving little room for a conventional roof mount. The Telescopic Pole Mount gives Starlink its own dedicated position, with the flexibility to raise or lower the dish as needed.

Its lightweight carbon-fibre construction also makes deployment and pack-down straightforward when travelling between campsites.

What it is not for

The Telescopic Pole Mount is designed for stationary use while parked, not for operating Starlink while driving.

Unlike a low-profile vehicle mount intended for travel, the telescopic pole is deployed at your destination and retracted before moving.

Simple rule: If you want a neat, space-saving Starlink installation for your caravan or RV, with the added flexibility of adjustable height, choose the Telescopic Pole Mount.

3. In-Motion Mount: engineered for reliability, built for the road

The Spacetek In-Motion Mount is a rugged, low-profile vehicle mounting solution designed for those who value durability, quality engineering and dependable performance.

Available for Starlink Mini and Standard Gen 3/V4, each model features precision-formed, powder-coated aluminium construction with CNC-machined polymer rails, engineered to withstand the demands of regular vehicle use, from highway travel to corrugated outback roads.

Unlike plastic or 3D-printed alternatives, its robust aluminium construction offers excellent corrosion resistance, structural strength and long-term durability. The precision-machined rails securely support the Starlink terminal while helping manage vibration and movement on rough terrain.

With its understated design and premium materials, this is a mount built around function, not flash.

A dependable workhorse, engineered to perform when it matters.

Best suited to

• 4WDs and off-road touring vehicles
• Utes and work vehicles
• Caravans, vans and campervans
  
• Premium vehicles where corrosion resistance and avoiding rust stains matter
• Roof racks, trays and platforms
• Remote-area travel and outback touring
• Tradespeople and field technicians
• Anyone who relies on Starlink Mini connectivity while travelling

Choose this if

You regularly use Starlink Mini from your vehicle and value quality engineering, durability and long-term reliability over unnecessary bells and whistles.

It's particularly well suited to tradespeople, field technicians, remote workers and frequent travellers who depend on their Starlink connection and need a mount built to withstand demanding conditions.

Whether permanently secured to a roof rack or installed using optional 87mm oversized magnets, it provides a rugged, low-profile mounting solution built for everyday use.

How can it be mounted?

The In-Motion Mount offers flexible installation options to suit different vehicles and setups:

• Permanent mounting: Secure directly to roof racks, trays or platforms using compatible T-nuts, bolts or other mechanical fasteners.

Choose this if

You want a strong, reliable and convenient Starlink Mini mount that's easy to install, remove or transfer between vehicles.

It's particularly well suited to travellers, weekend adventurers and vehicle owners who prefer a flexible installation without drilling or permanent modifications.

With four oversized 87mm magnets included, you get a complete magnetic mounting solution without needing to purchase additional hardware.

Check the surface before choosing it

This is one of the most important checks.

The magnets need direct contact with a clean, flat and suitable ferrous metal surface.

A magnetic mount will not suit:

• aluminium
• fibreglass
• plastic
• many composite canopies
• heavily curved surfaces
• textured surfaces
• areas where roof racks prevent proper magnet contact

Do not assume a roof is suitable simply because it looks metallic.

Simple rule: If you have Starlink Mini, a suitable steel surface and want easy removal without drilling, choose the Magnetic Mount.

What should you check before ordering?

Before choosing a Starlink mount, consider these seven factors to ensure the best fit for your setup.

1. Which Starlink model do you have?

Mounting systems aren't necessarily interchangeable between Starlink Mini, Standard Gen 3/V4, Performance and earlier models.

Always confirm compatibility with your specific Starlink terminal.

2. Will you use Starlink while driving or only when parked?

For in-motion use, choose a mount specifically designed for vehicle applications.

For stationary caravan or campsite setups, a telescopic pole may offer greater flexibility.

3. Do you want permanent or removable mounting?

A roof-rack installation may make sense for regular use.

A magnetic system can be more practical when Starlink needs to come off the vehicle regularly.

4. What is your mounting surface?

Consider whether your vehicle has a steel roof, aluminium canopy, roof rack, platform, crossbar or tray.

Magnetic mounts require suitable ferrous metal surfaces, while mechanical mounting offers more flexibility across different materials and structures.

5. Is roof space or sky visibility a concern?

Caravans with solar panels, air conditioners or crowded rooftops may benefit from a telescopic pole that keeps Starlink off the roof.

Adjustable height can also help position Starlink away from nearby obstructions.

6. How important are protection, security and durability?

For regular touring and vehicle use, consider corrosion-resistant materials, vibration resistance and long-term reliability.

For premium installations, the Stealth Mount offers additional physical protection and security. For demanding mining, marine and industrial environments, the IP68-rated V-Cell Rugged Housing provides enhanced protection against dust and water ingress.

7. How will the cable and power be handled?

A reliable Starlink installation goes beyond the mount. Plan for cable routing, strain relief, weather protection, power supply and clearance around other equipment.

For vehicle installations, ensure your power setup is compatible with your Starlink model.

The right Starlink mount solves the right problem

There is no single Starlink mount that's best for every setup. The right choice depends on how you use Starlink and what matters most to you.
