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

Description

The Starlink Mini Drop Down Bracket by SpaceTek is designed to sit between roof racks and lower your V-Cell housing closer to the roof line for a cleaner, more discreet installation. By dropping the mount down between the bars, it helps bring the overall profile close to flush, reducing visual bulk and improving aerodynamics.

This bracket is ideal for Starlink Mini when used inside a V-Cell housing and can also be adapted to work with other SpaceTek mounting solutions, including our in-motion mounts. Built from durable, weather-resistant materials, it is suitable for both stationary and in-motion applications when installed correctly.

⚠️ All in-motion use is at the user’s own risk. Always ensure the bracket, rack system, and mounting surface are structurally sound and correctly installed.

Key Features

✔️ Low-Profile Drop-Down Design

Lowers the V-Cell housing between roof racks so the installation sits closer to the roof, helping reduce height and visual impact.

✔️ Optimised for V-Cell and Starlink Mini

Designed with clearances and geometry to suit V-Cell housings for Starlink Mini, making it easy to achieve a neat, integrated setup.

✔️ Compatible With In-Motion Mounts

Can be adapted to work with selected SpaceTek in-motion mounts, creating a flexible solution for users who want a roof-friendly, travel-ready configuration.

✔️ Strong, Weather-Resistant Construction

Manufactured from heavy-duty, weather-resistant materials suitable for long-term outdoor use on 4WDs, caravans, RVs, and marine applications.

✔️ Clean, Nearly Flush Appearance

Helps achieve a sleek, close-to-flush look between roof bars, ideal for users who want a more OEM-style finish instead of a tall, obvious antenna mount.

✔️ Simple Integration With Existing Racks

Pre-drilled mounting points and a straightforward form factor allow installers to adapt the bracket to a wide range of common roof rack systems.

Installation Overview

1. Plan the location
   Choose a position between roof racks or mounting rails where the V-Cell can sit low without fouling sunroofs, hatches, aerials, or accessories.

2. Test-fit the bracket
   Hold the bracket in place and confirm drop height, clearances, and alignment with your chosen V-Cell or in-motion mount.

3. Mark and drill mounting points
   Mark the hole locations on your rack system or mounting surface. Drill pilot holes as required, following rack manufacturer guidelines.

4. Secure the bracket
   Fasten the bracket using appropriate stainless or high-tensile hardware, tightening all fixings evenly and firmly.

5. Attach V-Cell or mount
   Install your V-Cell housing or in-motion mount onto the drop-down bracket using the recommended fasteners.

6. Final checks
   Confirm all fixings are secure, check for movement or flex, and ensure the setup is clear of moving parts (doors, hatches, etc.) before driving.

Important Notes

⚠️ Installation should only be carried out on structurally sound roof racks or mounting systems capable of supporting the combined weight and wind load of the V-Cell and Starlink hardware.

⚠️ In-motion use at highway speeds or in high-wind environments is at the user’s own risk. SpaceTek is not responsible for damage or loss resulting from incorrect installation or overloading.

⚠️ Always re-check all fixings and hardware after the first trip and as part of regular vehicle maintenance.

Ideal Use Cases

✅ Lowering V-Cell height between roof racks for a more discreet installation
✅ Reducing overall profile to help with carports, garages, and low-clearance areas
✅ Integrating Starlink Mini and V-Cell into touring 4WD, caravan, or RV setups
✅ Adapting in-motion Starlink systems to sit lower and more streamlined
✅ Custom vehicle and marine installations where a dropped mount point is required
