You would pull the cable, grab the camera, effortlessly. Just to realize right after that you pulled your self onto the event horizon in doing it so.

Or if you were on a spacecraft, keeping a stable orbit using thrusters, then the cable would rip apart as it would be dragged into the black hole.

My original post specified another large, non-BH body in orbit

Same as for the spacecraft with thrusters. Doesn't matter how you keep the stable orbit.

The cable would rip.

What if you used a theoretical unbreakable cable, and tied a camera onto the other end, tossing that one into a similarly sized blackhole a substantial distance (negligible gravitational effect otherwise) apart?

If I'm correctly interpreting what you're asking, then the answer is that you would now have two black holes locked into rotation around each other. This will ultimately result in the two black holes falling into each other and you being deleted from existence. Literally gone, reduced to atoms.
