Turn it over. Every part of the RIDGE 7 is a decision you can argue with.
Drag the body. Tap a part and it turns to face you. Nothing is hidden behind a render: this is the same geometry the tooling was cut from.

The flagship. Everything on, all day.
Best for the trip you planned for a year.

Same sensor, half the body, no screen.
Best for helmets, chests and anywhere a screen is dead weight.

The one you lend out and stop worrying about.
Best for a first camera, and for the second one you keep on the bar.

I ran it off the side of a sea kayak in Vestfjorden for four hours. Salt, spray, one dunk under a wave, and the file came back clean at 5.3K. The horizon never once tipped.
The Mini lives on my helmet now. No screen means no temptation to check the frame mid-line, which turns out to be the feature I actually wanted.
Battery honesty is the thing. It says 94 minutes and it gives you 94 minutes, at minus 6, which is not something I can say about the camera it replaced.
Four stars because the app still guesses wrong about which clip I want first. The camera itself I have nothing bad to say about, and I have tried.
The bag, and then you are gone.
Three fields at the till, a card, and a tracking number the same evening. We do not save your card unless you tell us to, and we never ask twice.

Nothing in it yet.
Build a RIDGE 7 above, or take one of the kits. The bag lives up in the corner and it will tell you when it catches something.
