Film maker arrived with artist (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

camera

'film maker' is the definition.
(cameras record film)

'arrived with artist' is the wordplay.
'arrived' becomes 'came' (come can mean to appear or arrive).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'came'+'ra'='CAMERA'

(Other definitions for camera that I've seen before include "Photo taker" , "Brownie, among others" , "Optical recorder" , "In which people privately discuss" , "Apparatus for photographer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
