Headgear belonging to cameraman apparently returned (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

panama

'headgear' is the definition.
(I know that Panama is a type of hat)

'belonging to cameraman apparently returned' is the wordplay.
'belonging to' indicates a hidden word (I've seen this in other clues).
'returned' says the letters should be written backwards.
'amanap' can be found hidden inside 'cameraman apparently'.
'amanap' reversed gives 'PANAMA'.

(Other definitions for panama that I've seen before include "Style of hat" , "country divided by boaters?" , "Canal state; hat" , "Central American state" , "Central American country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
