🌲🚀 That “Tree Evader” Starlink setup is a clever solution! Using a 10' tripod paired with a 7' mast gives you a solid 17 feet of elevation—perfect for punching over the tree canopy interference while maintaining stability. Here's why that combo works so well:

# # # 🌐 Why the Tripod + Mast Combo Is Smart
- **Mobility & Flexibility**: Tripods are easy to reposition if foliage changes or signal needs shift.
- **Elevation Boost**: The added mast height helps clear nearby obstructions like tree limbs or rooflines.
- **Stability**: A 10' tripod offers a wide base, reducing sway and wind vulnerability.

# # # 🌳 “Tree Evader” Strategy Highlights
- **Targeted Elevation**: Gets the dish above the tree line without needing a full tower.
- **Quick Deployment**: Faster and less invasive than trenching or tower er****on.
