Sporty’s Adds Flight Gear Starlink Mini Mounting System

Pilots opting to carry a Starlink Mini terminal as portable equipment have created various ways of mounting the antenna in a window where it can cleanly connect to the constellation’s low-earth-orbit satellites. Now Sporty’s Pilot Shop has introduced a new Flight Gear Starlink Mini suction cup mounting system.

The mount secures “directly into the Starlink Mini’s main cavity,” according to Sporty’s. Dual 3.5-inch double-gasket suction cups are fitted to each side of an aluminum bracket. Its suction cups can rotate 360 degrees and the bracket’s “multi-positional arms” enable secure attachment to curved or angled windows. “A single-press locking mechanism ensures a firm hold—even as temperatures and conditions change.”

Sporty’s designed and tested the mount to support weights up to 8.5 pounds and temperatures from -20 to 50 degrees C. The bracket can be extended to fit windows up to 19.5 inches wide, but the typical range is 17 inches, or it can be compressed to 13 inches for smaller windows. Price of the Flight Gear Starlink Mini mount is $59.95.
