Hey everyone, besides lav mics. What would you think is the best way to mic this setup would be?

Edit - it’s the request from the people to not use lav mics.

Need some advice. I’m looking to get into lav audio recording, personally I don’t have $1k to drop on 4 recorders, 4 lavs, and a TC box since I’m saving for my own wedding. However, from last year I got the rode wireless pro. I could get another rode wireless go and their TRS splitter so I can Mic 4 people up for audio. Unless someone has a better idea because I’m researching and struggling to find a good solution that does not break the bank. I like the idea in slowly investing in good gear however, I might have 3 more shoots this year that are 4-6 people so I don’t have a clear direction. TYIA

Need some advice—doing a video shoot on Saturday. It’s going to be a dining room table with six people talking. There will also be someone in the background cooking food. I don’t have enough lav mics to mic everyone, so I was thinking about using a shotgun mic on a boom arm stand over the table to try and get good audio. Any advice would be helpful. Working on a tight budget since it’s for a non-profit.
