Works Great With

Trucks & Cars
Low-profile and form-fitting, it won't snag on branches or clearance bars. Works with magnetic, suction, VHB, or through-bolt attachment — whatever your rig needs.

RVs
A dedicated Starlink RV Flatmount. Works on fiberglass and aluminum rooftops. VHB Landing Pads provide a permanent solution, with professional-grade Magnets for removable and tool-free use.

Vans & Overlanders
For van conversions and overland rigs. The TRIO Flatmount sits tight to the roof and keeps the dish protected during travel, and comes off quickly.

Boats
If your water-rig is utilizing a Standard Starlink, TRIO Flatmount installs in minutes using Heavy-Duty Suction Cups. No drilling, no damage.

Non-Flat or Ridged Roof? Read This Before Mounting

If your vehicle's roof has raised ridges or contours, any attachment may not achieve full contact with the roof surface, and full contact is required for a secure hold. Without it, the mount can detach at highway speeds. If your roof has ridges, we recommend:

  • Ensuring all attachment points are flush and fully in contact with the roof before driving
  • Testing the mount at low speeds before highway use

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount hold in high winds and dusty conditions?

Yes. The Gen 3 Standard Flatmount is engineered and tested for high-wind and rough-condition use. As long as you've installed it on a clean surface and the mount doesn't budge when you give it a firm push, you're good to go. If you've chosen suction cups as your attachment method, give the suction a quick check before any drive.

I'm mounting to an aluminum surface. What attachment should I use for the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount?

Attaching the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount on an aluminum body, you've got a few options depending on how permanent you want the install. Aluminum is non-ferrous, so:

For a permanent install, go with our VHB Adhesive Landing Pads. They bond directly to the aluminum.

For semi-permanent, pair our Rubber-Coated Magnets with our VHB Metal Discs. The disc bonds to the aluminum and the magnet locks onto the disc, giving you a strong hold you can still remove later.

Heavy-Duty Suction Cups are also an option if you want a fully removable setup.

I'm mounting on a fiberglass roof. How do I attach the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount?

Attaching the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount on a fiberglass roof, you've got a few options since fiberglass is also non-ferrous, same setup as aluminum:

For a permanent install, use our VHB Adhesive Landing Pads. They bond directly to the fiberglass.

For semi-permanent, pair our Rubber-Coated Magnets with our VHB Metal Discs. The disc bonds to the fiberglass, and the magnet locks onto the disc.

Heavy-Duty Suction Cups also work if you want a fully removable setup.

Are the magnets strong enough?

Yes. Each magnet has 60 lbs of holding force, so all 4 magnets together hold up to 240 lbs. To remove them, slide them side to side with a bit of force rather than pulling straight up.

I have a curved roof. What do I use for the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount?

Go with our Swivel Leg Mount Adapters. Each leg gets independent movement so the mount can conform to a curved surface and sit flush without rocking.

I have a Ford with an aluminum roof. Will the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount work?

Attaching the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount on a Ford roof, most Ford trucks newer than 2016 have an aluminum roof, which is non-ferrous, so you've got a few options depending on how permanent you want the install:

For a permanent install, go with our VHB Adhesive Landing Pads. They bond directly to the aluminum.

For semi-permanent, pair our Rubber-Coated Magnets with our VHB Metal Discs. The disc bonds to the aluminum and the magnet locks onto the disc, giving you a strong hold you can still remove later.

Heavy-Duty Suction Cups are also an option if you want a fully removable setup.

Yes, the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount will hold if you choose one of the above.

Can the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount go through a car wash?

We don't recommend it. The mount is built to handle weather and road grime, but automatic car washes put extra stress on the dish and attachment points with high-pressure jets and rotating brushes. Remove the dish (and the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount if you're going through a touchless or brush wash) before you head in, then reinstall once you're out.

How do I power the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount?

Depends on your setup. We make two 12V power options for the Gen 3 Standard.

If you're keeping the Starlink Gen 3 router, use our Gen 3 12V Power Supply. It plugs directly into the router and runs it off your 12V or 24V system, saving 30 to 50 watts of waste from running it through an inverter.

If you're running an aftermarket router instead, use our Gen 3 12V Conversion Box. It eliminates the Starlink router entirely and powers the dish through a built-in POE injector, saving an additional 15 watts.

Does the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount come with attachments?

No, the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount doesn't come with attachments. You pick the attachment method separately so it fits your vehicle and use case. Options include Rubber-Coated Magnets, VHB Metal Discs, VHB Adhesive Landing Pads, Heavy-Duty Suction Cups, and Swivel Leg Mount Adapters.

How do I remove the dish from the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount?

The Gen 3 Standard dish slides into the Flatmount via its removable kickstand. To release it, you need to access and depress the kickstand tab.

If your mount is attached with magnets or suction cups, you can lift the whole assembly off the vehicle and release the dish easily.

If your mount is hard-mounted with through-bolts or VHB landing pads, the tab becomes hard to reach once installed. Use our Kickstand Release Lever for that. It's a 3D printed tool that reaches the tab safely and releases the dish without risking damage to the dish or the mount.

The lever is included when you order the Flatmount with through-bolt or VHB landing pad options. Otherwise, it's sold separately.

Do you have a guarantee?

Yes. Every TRIO mount purchased directly from trioflatmount.com is covered by our TRIO Lifetime Guarantee. If your mount ever fails, send photos or video of the issue along with your order number to contact@trioflatmount.com and we'll take care of it.

Wrong.

I received a different bracket than the I ordered. The instructions were for the one ordered. I'll make it work.

Hey Rob, checked your order notes and the order you placed reflects what was shipped (and what's in the photo you posted here). That said if you're not happy with it for any reason, you can return it no issue, just let us know!

Sturdy Mount for Tough Conditions!

I used this mount to install Starlink Standard on the roof of our boat for a trip from Seattle to Alaska. We had a lot of rough weather with pounding waves and water over the bow, and the mount held our Starlink dish securely with no issues.

Hi Steve, we're thrilled to hear the mount held up so well during your Alaska trip! Thanks for sharing your experience and for choosing TRIO Flatmount. Safe travels!

This mount was perfect for our needs!

This mount was perfect for installing our Starlink Gen 3 dishy on the roof of our RV. No more tripping over the cable or taking a rock from the lawn mowers at campgrounds. Installation was very simple. Thanks for creating such a great product.

The Gen 3 Standard Flatmount with Rubber Coated Magnets installed easily on the roof of our pickup

The Gen 3 Standard Flatmount with Rubber Coated Magnets installed easily on the roof of our pickup. The dish is oriented parallel to the roof, and id affixed strongly. I particularly like that the mount can be removed from the roof and reinstalled easily. I recommend the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount with Rubber Coated Magnets.

Satellite on the move.

I have now had the theTrio Gen 3 starlink bracket attached to my MH roof via stuck on magnets travelling through 14 European countries in some extreme weathers,
It doesn't move Its easy to clip in the array, and the bonus of no holes.
Whats not to like.
Thank you Trio.

Just right.

So far, so good. Fits. Appears to be secure and strong.

We regularly have 60 kt. winds in winter.

Upsized the washers. Mounted on fiberglass.

Great Company!!

My 2018 Pleasure Way Ascent only had one viable place to mount the Starlink Gen 3 dish-y. The flatmount with magnetic feet was perfect. Thanks Trio!

Motorhome Mag Mount.

I was very sceptical that four magnets would hold the Starlink array onto my MH. Using the 3M steel discs system, and traveling
Hungary , Romania ,Bulgaria , Serbia, Austria, Germany, and then to the Bad roads of the UK, It not only didnt move it worked perfectly
from 40c to 10c on a Morelo Palace Liner.
Thank you Trio.

Trio Flatmount Review

I mounted my Starlink Gen 3 on my 2022 Toyota Tundra using the Trio Flatmount with the optional rubber magnetic feet. Even at 70 mph it did the job. It is a little noise on the highway and I think the new frame mount would work better with wind drag noise for over the road use. I would taper the edges more for better wind flow instead of a flat frame edge. For simple use however, this is a great product if you want to go somewhere and quickly mount your starlink.

Great mount

Love the simplicity and ease of the mount. My mount did have a hairline crack in one of the cross bars when I received it but it hasn’t given me any problems so far. I mounted it on the roof of my Winnebago Navion and have driven over a 1000 miles with my Starlink attached with no issues.
Great product!

Perfect mount

Perfect mount for the starlink on our pilot house on our boat! Happy I can detach the starlink for winter storage as well

Excellent for RV roof

Easy install using the VHB tape pads. I have used VHB tape to hold solar panels in place on my rv with no problem. I did however build a 2” high border around the dish to prevent high winds from getting under the dish and possibly dislodging it. The removal tool works as advertised. Downside is the 3d printing if not high quality. Tech support stays they are switching to a molded part but mine is printed.

Great customer service

I installed the Trio Flatmount on my Sprinter roof, works perfect, very nice quality, great fit, so much better than the China knockoffs, no comparison. This is a great company to do business with, you’ll be happy you did! So refreshing, other companies need to take notes from you folks🤗

Highly recommend these products and Trio!

I had a Gen 3 Starlink dish that I wanted to install on the brow of my boat. A club member made me aware of
the Trio mount that he had used on his radar arch to mount a similar dish. I purchased the Gen 3 Standard Flatmount. Due to the complex curves of the brow and the lack of access underneath it in the forward area, I added the swivel leg mounting adapters and VHB Adhesive Landing pads. While I was at it, I added the Gen 3 DC power supply so that I could avoid the issues associated with always needing AC power available on the boat and the inverter inefficiencies. Tim and Katie were wonderful to work with. They expedited my order to the Seattle area, I had everything little more than a week after ordering. The mount is solid and was easy to install, as was the DC power supply. I needed a longer cable between the power supply and the router than Trio supplied but Tim turned me onto a source and I bought one from Amazon. A separate source turned me onto the Cable Clam you will see in the pictures. I highly recommend these products and Trio! They made my installation easy and appear professional. Thank you Tim and Katie!

Satisfied Customer

I purchase a Gen 3 flat mount and a 12VDC converter and very happy with both items. Installed on the roof rack and it was easy and a solid mount. Added the 12VDC to use with my battery system when on the road.
