'camera accessory' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'starts to take every top-hole shot' is the wordplay.
'starts to' suggests taking the first letters.
'shot' indicates an anagram.
The initial letters of 'take every' is 'te'.
'top'+'hole'='tophole'
'tophole' is an anagram of 'lephoto'.
'te'+'lephoto'='TELEPHOTO'
