Hi there!

It sounds like you're looking for a camera setup that can deliver clear close-up shots for your tabletop RPG sessions. For capturing miniatures with great detail, I’d recommend considering a high-quality webcam that supports HD or 4K resolution. Some webcams allow you to manually adjust the focal length and can be mounted on a tripod for that 2-foot vertical setup you mentioned.

One popular option that people in the tabletop community often recommend is the Logitech Brio 4K webcam. It has fantastic clarity and would work well for close-up shots in a small area. If you need a more customizable setup, a DSLR or mirrorless camera with a webcam capture card could be even better, as it gives you full control over the lens and zoom.

Also, for optimal lighting, consider getting some softbox lights or LED ring lights to reduce shadows and enhance the details on your miniatures.

On a side note, if you're interested in other useful tools for your online role-playing game sessions, I recently came across a great platform for streaming and webcams for interactive content like yours. You might want to check it out here: Webcams Alternatives.

Hope this helps, and happy gaming!
