Summary

This one doesn't make much sense (since when are micros too big?), but it's cute...

83x58mm when folded, 138mm motor-to-motor (diagonally) when unfolded. So no, its not very micro, I know. And it's one heavy micro, don't expect to do any acro with it. I designed it mostly because I had an idea and I like to draw stuff ;)

The Quanum micro camera/vtx combo from HobbyKing fits perfectly and the camera angle is adjustable between 0 and 30 degrees. The arms have slots for clean wiring and to prevent accidental cutting of motor wires when folding the arms.

I'm running mine with the following hardware:

If you use a Beef's Brushed Board you'll also need an FTDI adapter to communicate with the board

I used the setup above mainly because I already had all the necessary parts at home, there are (most likely) better/cheaper parts out there if you google. There are also a bunch of links in the comments to alternate hardware

Here's a good page to get you started with hardware similar to the one listed above

UPDATE 160709:
Added new arms with slits for the motors (as shown in the pictures). Uploaded the wrong version previously, sorry

UPDATE 160716:
Added new, thicker arms for you guys who prints in PLA. These should hold up better in a crash. Also, user unclecracker made a remix of the arms to fit 7mm motors: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1675767

UPDATE 170209
Here's a nice camera mount for the Eachine TX03 (and probably other AiOs as well) by murrayp0473
