V6 with V5's
I have a bunch of Cactus V5 transceivers. Can I buy one V6 (used as a transmitter) and use my V5s as
the receivers on my speedlites? Do I still have manual power control?

Also, each V5 will be triggered in any of the 4 groups, A B C and D.
Thanks!

You can thus use your V6 Tx (transmitter) to determine which V6 Rx will be fired through a V5 by activating / deactiving the respective group with your V6 Tx.
However, the V5 isn't really significantly smaller than a V6. The V6 is in fact shorter, but wider.
I think it would be similar to the Cactus V4 Receiver if there really is one?

If one wants remote power control then the only option are V6 receivers and then a V6 transceiver on camera makes the most sense as a V5 is almost as big.
