OEM vs third-party mount
| OEM (Starlink) | Third-party | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Higher | Often lower |
| Fit | Designed by Starlink | Built to the same 1.5" thread |
| Adapter | Sometimes separate | Built in on ours |
| Warranty | Starlink-backed | Vendor-backed |
| Availability | Starlink store | Direct from maker |
Which should you buy?
If a third-party mount matches the 1.5" thread and your install, you get the same physical fit — and on our mounts the thread is built in, so there's no second purchase. Buy OEM when you want Starlink's own part number.

Common questions
Will a third-party mount fit my Starlink?
If it's built to the 1.5" pipe thread, yes — that's the interface the dishes use.
Do I need an official adapter with a third-party mount?
Not if the thread is built in, as it is on our roof and wall mounts.
Is OEM safer?
The fit is the same interface; the difference is warranty and finish, not whether the dish stays up.
