When going for a night out, there is always one person who will take hundreds of photo's of the night and upload them onto a social networking site the next morning. Most of the photo's are utter shit being blurry or not even of the correct friend circle. However, there will usually be a good 10 photo's of the night, and having a camera jockey with you means you don't have to worry about uploading any of your own photo's onto the internet.

Camera Jockey's are also useful to take on holidays, weddings and other social events where you just cannot be arsed bringing your own camera.
Joe: "Hey man, you coming out tonight?"
Sam: "Yeah I am, you bringing a camera?"
Joe: "Nahh, don't worry about it, Sarah's coming out too."
Sam: "Ahh, good old Sarah the camera jockey."

In filming; one who resides behind the camera, operating it, mainly because of their lack of appealing physical qualities and/or skill with a camera.
"Glen wants to be in the next film we make, but he's such a good camera jockey, we're going to make him film again."
