5. Recommendations by Use Case

[Home] Home / Residential

Wall Mount (Fixed) — The most aesthetic option. Mount on an exterior wall with clear sky view. Suitable for Standard (rectangular) and Standard Actuated terminals. Works well for Mini on a porch or deck wall.

[RV] RV / Campervan

Universal Pipe Mount + Flat Roof Mount — These two mounts cover most RV scenarios. Use the pipe mount on existing roof rails, ladder, or spare tire mount. Use the flat roof mount for direct roof installations.

[Off-Grid] Off-Grid / Cabin

Pivot Mount — Allows seasonal angle adjustment to optimize for winter/summer sun (important for solar-powered setups). Works with all terminal types except Standard Actuated (motorized dish can interfere with pivot mechanism).

[Industrial] Industrial / Fleet

Heavy-Duty Pipe Mount — Reinforced bracket, larger bolt pattern, and thicker steel (3mm vs 2mm). Suitable for Performance terminals and locations with wind speeds exceeding 100 mph.

[Portable] Portable / Travel

Compact Tripod Mount (Mini only) — Lightweight, foldable, sets up in 2 minutes. Ideal for camping, tailgating, or temporary use. Packs down to 40cm length.
