Starlink Mini Youth Sports Streaming Help

Thanks in advance for any help, I'm not used to be perplexed by technology but this admittedly isn't my strongest area.

I bought the starlink mini to ensure I had an uninterrupted wifi anywhere solution for our softball team's streams to game changer. I run 3 cameras and have the starlink mini connected via ethernet cable to my slate 7 travel router.

I make sure I align the Starlink Mini before every game and monitor obstructions.

I have it mounted on a tripod.

I will get at max, 10-12mbps for my upload speed and will watch it regularly crater to 4-5, and then to 0, sometimes right as I hit "Stream". I'm nowhere near any of my monthly limits as I only use it for this use case 2-3 weekends a month.

I'll watch the connection just simply drop or the mini to just suddenly say "booting" even though there is no lapse of power.

Is this just the technology operating normally or is there some troubleshooting I need to perform? I know many choose to use speedify to bridge their connections for uninterrupted streams but I feel like this kinda defeats the purpose of starlink being used reliably anywhere.

Happy to answer additional questions to help troubleshoot. I'm a volunteer just enjoying the streaming hobby and I want to make sure all the grandmothers watching at home can always see their kid! Thank you in advance!

I see some of your amazing setups with mevo cores and 5+ cameras. I know this was a progression and you most likely didn't grab it all at once. I really enjoy this hobby and want to do thoughtful upgrades.

I started with a phone and an Amazon mount.

Upgraded to a Nexus mount for heat/weather resistance.

Moved to a mevo with a clam shell door hinge mount. Added a travel router.

I just added a second Mevo and starlink.

  1. with one mevo on the backstop, where do you recommend my second Mevo?

  2. what is the next upgrade , thinking I can only do one thing at a time?

  3. I'll run studio on my phone, can I also score a game or will multi tasking make the stream disconnect because of that studio multi use error? I have a pixel 10.

  4. will everything connect to the starlink mini out of the box or should I still use my little GL travel router?

Thank you GC streaming vets! I can't wait to get to the point where I have the outfield mevo core , you are all above average amateur producers!

What's everyone using to power their starlink mini for a tournament day? I don't want to go super premium if I can avoid it. I saw the Jackery 300 at $188. I'm thinking I need to comfortably power through 4 games. I was hoping to find a $100 option but will do what's I gotta do.

Just upgraded to a second Mevo and the starlink so I can get my phone back on game days.
