I guess I could have described my setup in a bit more detail.
I’m using an 8 foot jib arm with a Sony HDR-CX130 pointed straight down at the table. I have not been able to convince my management to get any sort of lighting for the events, again, due to cost and space issues, so I have to rely on the lighting in the convention halls/hotel ballrooms. I do have a Tiffen polarizing filter for the camera, as that was my first thought, and it reduces the glare by about 10-25%, but still not enough to clearly see some of the cards.
My next thought was the C-Stand with something like a Westcott scrim jim kit attached at the end. I figured this would allow for some mobility with the diffusion material, but still runs into the packing space issue.
