I believe the answer is:

range

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

'series of peaks' is the definition.
(mountain range)

'cameraman finally captured in storm' is the wordplay.
'cameraman finally' becomes 'n' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'captured in' is an insertion indicator.
'storm' becomes 'rage' (synonyms).
'n' placed into 'rage' is 'RANGE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for range that I've seen before include "Prairie" , "Set in a row" , "Oven" , "cover a certain area" , "Aga or mountain, perhaps?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
