[Problem] The purpose of the invention is to provide an endoscope capable of changing the viewing field direction during imaging in a wider range without causing an increase in apparatus size while also being capable of being assembled easily with a simple configuration that connects driving rods via connecting members to an advancing and retracting driving device and being capable of reliable drive transmission. [Solution] This endoscope is provided with: an imaging holder that holds the imaging unit driving force transmission mechanisms that each comprise a pair of driving rods (22, 23), the leading ends of which are connected at mutually diagonal positions on the imaging holder a driving device that advances and retracts the driving rods (22) a support shaft extending from the base member side of the driving device a relaying holder (42) that is furnished on the support shaft and supports the intermediate portions of the driving rods and a cover member that covers at least a portion of same and is configured to connect the base end of one driving rod (22) of each driving force transmission mechanism to the driving device via a connector (78).Le problème à résoudre dans le cadre de la présente invention consiste à procurer un endoscope apte à modifier la direction du champ de vision lors dune imagerie pour obtenir une plus large portée, sans entraîner daugmentation de la taille de lappareil, tout en permettant un assemblage facile avec une configuration simple ‑ selon laquelle des barres de commande sont reliées à un dispositif dentraînement davancée et de recul via des éléments de raccordement ‑, et en permettant également une transmission dentraînement fiable. La solution proposée est un endoscope doté des éléments suivants : un support dimagerie qui maintient lunité dimagerie des mécanismes de transmission de force dentraînement qui comprennent chacun une paire de barres de commande (22, 23), dont les extrémités antérieures sont reliées à des positions récipro
