Starlink Gen 3 Drop Down Bracket for V-Cell and In-Motion Mounts

Description

The Starlink Gen 3 Drop Down Bracket by SpaceTek is purpose-built to sit between roof racks and lower your V-Cell housing or Gen 3 terminal mounting system closer to the roof line. This creates a sleek, low-profile installation that reduces wind resistance and keeps your Starlink setup looking professionally integrated.

Designed for both stationary and travel applications, this bracket offers excellent compatibility with the Gen 3 V-Cell housing and can also be adapted to work with selected SpaceTek in-motion mounts. Its robust construction ensures long-term durability, even in harsh Australian touring conditions.

⚠️ In-motion use is always at the user’s own risk. Ensure the rack system and installation are structurally sound and rated for wind load.

Installation Overview

1. Select location
   Choose a suitable point between roof racks with adequate height clearance for the Gen 3 V-Cell housing.

2. Test positioning
   Hold the bracket in place and confirm it sits low enough without interfering with vehicle accessories.

3. Mark and drill mounting holes
   Use appropriate drill sizes and follow roof rack manufacturer recommendations.

4. Secure the bracket
   Fasten using stainless or high-tensile hardware to ensure a stable foundation.

5. Attach the V-Cell or Gen 3 mount
   Fit your mounting hardware to the drop-down plate using the correct fasteners.

6. Final stability check
   Tighten all fixings and verify no movement occurs during vehicle operation.

Important Notes

⚠️ Always ensure your roof rack system is rated for the combined mass and wind load of Starlink hardware.
⚠️ Use in extreme weather or at highway speeds is at the user’s own risk.
⚠️ Inspect and retighten all mounting hardware regularly, especially after off-road travel.
