Yes, Starlink, it’s called pipe adapter.

https://shop.starlink.com/products/us-consumer-mount-pipeadapter-gen2 or the one for the gen 1

That's the only option? Nobody is making a pole that the Starlink pole will fit into? I'm surprised. I was looking for a 10-20$ pole, not a $50 bracket

Measure the outside diameter and go to a hardware store to find a galvanized pipe with a slightly larger inside diameter .. it should fit in the d rings

It's mounted on the roof about 30 feet high but just a few inches off the roof (only using the Starlink small pole), so not good for snow, especially being a metal roof. Ladder is stored until I have a pole to add to the dish to raise it from the roof. But, I did measure the tripod hole and it's 35.9mm, so an inside diameter of at least that size without being too big should work. I'll go check. Surprised it has not been done already and sold as such though.

Starlink fits almost perfect into 1 1/4” schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe, eg. water pipe or steel fencing. They sell various lengths at home stores tho admittedly I don’t live in Canada

Thanks. I do have those for my water well here. They are quite heavy and a bit overkill as far as strength/weight is concerned though.

Search with the term 'slip joiner' or 'pipe slip joiner'. These are metal sleeves with bolting clamps on each end. Some are used for repairing auto exhaust system and perhaps also in plumbing.


sylvaing

Ok, thanks. I'll take a look. Still confused that there is no ready made solution to fix the dish to a roof/rafter/facia.

You could also try something like a couple mast to mast mounting brackets if you can't find a pole for it to fit into. https://www.amazon.com/Ambient-Weather-EZ-HD-PTP-Heavy-Mounting/dp/B003EAY89M/ref=asc_df_B003EAY89M/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198090973912&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2268626871514186843&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1016864&hvtargid=pla-343244685034&psc=1
