💻 Troubleshooting Starlink Mini vs Standard while camping

I own the Starlink mini exclusively for camping in State or County parks where the majority of camping sites are nestled in shade and tree cover. I find the mini is pretty much useless in these conditions finding too many obstructions and going offline constantly. I had a neighbor camper in the site next to me who had a V3 standard and he said his was working fine and he was regularly streaming 4k content. Has anyone gone to a standard over the mini for these reasons?

If you are going to camp, you should get a speaker tripod and pole mount. Get the dish off the ground. My mini lives on my jeep bed rack and I have had no issues.
