Forge Concepts | Starlink Mini Bag

Description  Purpose-built to carry, mount, and operate the Starlink Mini, this bag provides rugged protection, efficient cable management, and flexible mounting solutions. Designed for demanding use cases, it ensures full performance of the Starlink Mini without compromise, even when operating within the bag. Ideal for military, law enforcement, SAR teams, overlanding, RVs, and outdoor enthusiasts, the Starlink Mini Bag enhances the durability, portability, and usability of your Starlink Mini." Features: Seamless Use: operate the Starlink Mini directly inside the bag with the kickstand stowed or deployed, maintaining full functionality without sacrificing protection. Impact Protection: our unique design utilizes a removable impact plate made of CURV®, an advanced thermoplastic that is extremely strong, durable, and lightweight. There is also a removable .25" high density foam panel that, when combined with the CURV® plate, provides advanced protection for the Starlink Mini to include rock strikes or impacts at speed, without impacting performance.  Flexible mounting: the back of the Starlink Mini Bag has a unique Multimount Panel, which allows for MOLLE/PALs mounting, adding backpack straps, securing horizontally/vertically with ratchet straps, cables, backpack straps, Voile straps, and more. Additionally, laser cut mounting holes allow for easy mounting of vehicle magnets, suction cups, or anything else that can be bolted on.  Cable & battery management: the interior of the Starlink Mini Bag is loop lined and accepts all hook/Velcro® backed inserts, including the Forge Concepts Rigid Insert System. We commonly use this to carry a FAA/TSA compliant battery bank and manage cables to power the device while remaining fully enclosed in the bag. Additionally, a shielded cable pass through allows the end user to externally power the Starlink Mini, run ethernet, or any other cabling in a secure, weather proof way. The inside also features two tie down points for additional security and cable management. Weather & dust resistance: the Starlink Mini Bag is highly water and dust resistant providing increased protection and ensuring reliable performance in harsh conditions.  Proven zero performance lost: extensively tested in diverse environments, including heavy rain, with no reduction in speed or signal quality.  Signature reduction: the Starlink Mini Bag substantially reduces the visual and thermal signature of the Starlink Mini, even over prolonged use, making it extremely difficult to detect. Use Cases:  Tactical Communications: mobile, on the go internet and gateway device can be used to extend communications for systems like the Persistent System MPU5 via Cloud Relay, Silvus Technologies StreamCaster, and Trellisware radios. Additionally, high speed internet in a compact form factor, enables increased awareness via ATAK/WINTAK as well as other networked applications. Search & Rescue/EMS: access to off-the grid communications via a weather and dust resistant platform enables constant communication during disaster management and times where cellular infrastructure is degraded or offline.  Overlanding: the Starlink Mini Bag provides ruggedized protection for the Starlink Mini in a form factor that can be easily mounted to vehicles/overlanding rigs and then pulled off for home or dismounted use. Preparedness: protect and increase your off the grid communications capabilities in any environment.  Recreational Vehicles: provides seamless mounting/dismounting, protection for on the go use and portability. Backpacking: weighing less than a pound, the Starlink Mini Bag makes it easy to increase the portability and protection for backpacking or carrying, improving remote communications.  General use: with a slim form factor, improved portability, and flexible mounting options, the Starlink Mini Bag will increase the Starlink Mini's longevity and usability for general use to include travel or home use.  Specifications: Configuration Weight Dimensions Starlink Mini Bag 10.5oz 12.5" x 11" x 1" Starlink Mini Bag with Starlink 3lb 5oz 12.5" x 11" x 2.5" Starlink Mini Bag with Starlink stand extended 3lb 5oz 12.5" x 11" x 5" Made in the USA of Made in the USA Materials Berry Compliant NIR Compliant Rigorously tested by military members, veterans, and adventure enthusiasts  FAQ: Q: Will the Starlink Mini Bag cause my Starlink Mini to overheat? A: The Starlink Mini can get very hot when it is being used heavily, and especially with high WiFi usage. Forge Concepts designed the Starlink Mini Bag so that both the protective foam and impact plate can be easily removed to aid in cooling. They recommend sliding the foam and impact plate out and placing them inside the bag, underneath the Starlink Mini if you are going to be stationary/not in a place where extra impact protection is required. They have not seen any issues with overheating when those two protective pieces are removed from their pocket. For on the go use, air flow keeps the Starlink Mini cool and you can leave one or both protective pieces in place. The added protection does increase heat retention, so there's a trade off. Q: Will the Starlink Mini Bag fit XYZ battery? A: The Starlink Mini Bag will comfortably fit a range of batteries. Some of the most common ones that are used and fit include Anker 747, Anker Prime 27,650, PeakDo LinkPower Bank, and Goal Zero Sherpa AC. The Goal Zero Sherpa AC is about the largest battery that comfortably fits inside the Starlink Mini Bag.  Q: What magnets, suction cups, or other mounting add ons do you recommend? A: Forge Concepts designed the Multimount Panel to accept an extremely wide range of mounting options. The general recommendation for magnets/suction cups is to purchase ones that can secure 50+ pounds of weight and it is always suggested to add a tie down to a roof rack for added security. The holes on the Multimount Panel are 0.275" in diameter so as long as the bolt/screw can fit in that dimension they will mount without issue.
