The R7M and R7X Do Not Include a Built-in Camera

The R7M and R7X do not include a built-in camera or dashcam recording, but you can control compatible action cameras from the display. RiderNav plans to release a 6-inch display with a built-in camera.

The R7M and R7X do not include a built-in camera or dashcam recording. They are focused, quick-release riding displays for clean integration, fast install, and everyday reliability.

RiderNav plans to release a 6-inch display with a built-in camera. This is a new model, and it does not add a camera to the current R7M or R7X.

By excluding camera integration, we ensure:

  • Simple, fast installation — no extra wiring, no additional mounts, no camera setup

  • A cleaner cockpit — fewer components, fewer failure points

  • Better value — you don’t pay for features you may not need


Alternative Solutions for Recording

If you need video recording capabilities while riding, we recommend:

Action Cameras (Recommended)

The R7M/R7X can control compatible action cameras including:

  • Insta360: X5, X4, ACE PRO, ACE PRO2, and X6. On the R7M, X6 requires firmware v1.7.5 or later

  • GoPro: HERO 10, HERO 11, HERO 12, HERO 13

  • DJI: Osmo Action 6, Osmo Action 5 Pro, Osmo 360

While the R7M/R7X cannot record video itself, you can use it to start/stop recording on these compatible cameras and control their settings directly from the R7M/R7X display. For pairing steps and the current compatibility list, see Controlling Your Action Camera with R7M/R7X.

Helmet Cameras

Many riders use helmet-mounted action cameras for recording their rides, which can be controlled via the R7M/R7X if using compatible models listed above.
