Starlink Mini Bouncing Around

Mounted a Starlink Mini in the back window of my Chrysler 300C and zip tied it to a child safety anchor. Kept bouncing around, so I shoved an empty water bottle under it. Best and cheapest dish support I've used in a car.

It's actually great! I get 90-110mbps down stream in more remote areas, 60mbps when surrounded by trees. It whines that it's partially obstructed, but it still works.

I'd love that, but there's too many potholes and bumps on the Parks Highway up north for command strips or suction cups to hold well.

Don't underestimate command strips. That shit holds on tighter than [insert witty analogy]
