Use the Freelance Civilian Reporter thing that exists nowadays aswell. Even if he isn't, I dont think sticking with the Civilian ID is worth all the whining you'll get from people who dont know any better. You'll be trying to RP and everyone will say "CHANGE UR ID OR REPORT". I'd just get the FL ID.
Camera ship is also invisible, so it wont block screenies you decide to make. It doesnt have a model applied to it which is why its "cloaked". But you can still hit it. Its also very well protected to keep the cameraman safe!
