Yes, Starlink comes with a mount — but only a basic ground/tabletop base. Every Standard, Mini, and Gen 3 kit ships with a small kickstand or tripod base for temporary setup. For permanent roof, pole, or wall mounting, you'll need a separate accessory ($40–$99 from Starlink or third parties).

What's In the Box

Starlink Standard kit includes: dish (self-aligning), base (small kickstand), 75ft cable (or 50ft depending on region), Wi-Fi router, and power supply. Starlink Mini includes: dish with built-in Wi-Fi/router, integrated kickstand, cable, and power adapter.

What the Included Base Is Good For

Temporary setups on a deck, patio, RV during camping, or ground testing. Not designed for permanent outdoor use, high wind, or roof placement. It's low, so trees and buildings often obstruct signal.

Mounts You'll Likely Need to Buy

Pivot Mount ($40): for pitched roofs. Pipe Adapter ($22): to attach to any 1.5''–2'' pole. Flashing Mount ($47): for shingle roofs. Long Wall Mount ($99): for gable-end wall mounting. Non-Penetrating Base ($99+): for flat/tile roofs without drilling.

Why Starlink Doesn't Include a Roof Mount

Every roof is different — pitch, material, and structure vary too much for a universal mount. Shipping a full mounting kit would also push the box price up 15–25%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the included base long-term?

Not recommended — it's not weather-hardened for years of exposure and doesn't get you above obstructions.

Do I have to buy the mount from Starlink?

No. Third-party mounts work fine as long as they fit the dish's pipe adapter or bolt pattern.

Is the base included with Starlink Mini different?

Yes — Mini has a built-in kickstand, no separate base. Wall/pole mounts sold separately.

What comes free with a pro install?

InstallPros includes the mounting hardware in the $299 base price for a standard roof install.

Does Business Starlink come with a roof mount?

No — same self-install kit as residential, just with a higher service tier.
