I believe the answer is:

crapshooter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'awful cameraman' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'better' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'who could be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for crapshooter that I've seen is " US gambler".)
