Claim 0:
1. An endoscope comprising:
a tip assembly having a proximal end opposite a distal end and including:
a working channel extending in a longitudinal direction, the longitudinal direction extending from the proximal end toward the distal end;
a camera assembly including a flexible printed circuit and a camera module, the camera module having an image sensor and a lens and extending in the longitudinal direction, the camera module positioned above the working channel in a top-down direction and having a proximal connection surface; and
a flexible printed circuit support having a proximal end, a distal end, and a symmetry plane passing through the camera module and a longitudinally extending center line of the working channel, the proximal end comprising a longitudinal portion having a first lateral surface laying on a plane, the distal end including a first lobe extending laterally relative to the symmetry plane further than the camera module and the plane on which the first lateral surface lies,

wherein the flexible printed circuit comprises a first portion overlapping the proximal connection surface, a second portion, and a first fold extending laterally, relative to the top-down direction, from the first portion and toward the proximal end, and
wherein the first fold curves about the first lobe.
