FlagPole Buddy is a small company run by RVers, which specializes in RV accessory mounting solutions. Founded in 2004, they have partnered with CampingWorld to provide their product to a wider base of RVers. They also sell through Amazon.
FlagPole Buddy designs, produces, and sells their own products.
In 2021, they began designing mounts specifically for cellular antennas (Cell Adaptor Kit) and Starlink units.
Product Overview
Poles & Mounts
Flagpole Buddy has created and sold poles and mounting kits for years. Many in the RVing and Cruising community have found use in creating a mounting solution from their products.
They offer many different types of mounts, which are sold separately or can be kitted with poles and other accessories.
One of the primary features of most of Flagpole Buddy's mounting systems is the ability to mount the poles/attached device from the ground - even if the mount is far from the ground. A 'swivel in' system allows the user to curb the pole into the amount and then lock it. You can view their video demo of a swivel-style ladder pole mount style Flagpole Buddy system on their YouTube channel.
Cell Adaptor Kit
The FlagPole Buddy Cell Adapter allows you to mount most cellular booster antennas via the adaptor attached to a 6-12 foot extending aluminum pole - which they also sell.
It is then suggested you insert the pole into a patented Flagpole Buddy mount - of which there are ladder, hitch, suction, and other varieties.
Price: $27.99
Starlink Mount Kits
FlagPole Buddy offers a pole mount adaptor for the Starlink system.
The Starlink Mount Kit includes a 2.0 FlagPole Buddy Pole Mount Set, two 4-foot pole sections with locking buttons, and a Starlink mount adapter.
The kit was initially designed for the Generation 1 Starlink dish (round), but as of February 2022, is only being sold for the Generation 2 (rectangle) dish. Do note, the kits are not interchangeable.
The design is meant to allow a single person to extend a Starlink dish above your rig while remaining on the ground.
Price: $119.99
We have tested FlagPole Buddy's Starlink Generation 1 kit. Members can read insight on this kit in the member area below.
They also have a Generation 3 Starlink Mount Kit and also sell just the adapter. If you already have a Generation 1 or 2 pole system, you can just buy the adapter and mount it to the 2" pole!
Starlink Buddy Adapter Kit For Gen 3 Dish:
Most Standard RV ladders are around 1" Diameter, but Flag Pole Buddy's website offers different sizes from 1.14" diameter up to 2.0" diameter.
The kit includes the adapter, poles, mounts, cable clamps, and pole bag.
Price: $219.99 (additional cost if selecting a different diameter)
Starlink Buddy Adapter for Gen 3 Dish:
Purchase this if you already have a Generation 1 or 2 pole. You don't have to purchase a whole new kit.
Select from 3 different size adapters:
- 2" Diameter for Flag Pole Buddy Pole
- 1.654" Diameter House "J" Pole
- 1.5" Diameter Harbor Freight Pole (not tested yet)
Price: $44.99
Insty Connect Mount Kits
FlagPole Buddy offers mount kits for Insty Connect units - both the 4G and 5G versions.
The Insty Connect mount kits include a 1.0 FlagPole Buddy Pole Mount Set, a telescoping aluminum pole, and an Insty Connect mount adaptor.
The design is meant to allow a single person to extend a Starlink dish above your rig while remaining on the ground.
Price: $119.99
