You can screw the power pack alone to the underside the camera or grip but the belt would be more feasible.  It does not have an on - off switch but does have a red LED that comes on when you turn on the flash that would make me think if there is a load (flash being in on) it would sense and turn on the power pack.The power cable does look sturdy and not chintzy.I will be testing this at an event and will report  an update. The vendor for those that are interested from Amazon Digital Goja . I ordered it on 4 March and received it today USPS on 7 March not bad for free shipping.If using D7000 in Commander mode(on board flash) you can adjust the flash in TTL (not sure if that one really works) , M does work and can adjust power up or down. You can also turn it off.  I am not familiar with AA mode as my camera is in manual mode 99% of the time. From some of the online reviews about the above Flash but the Oolong model that it did not work; well the Calumet one seems to work. No HSS but it does sync at 1/320 may not be a big problem if one uses a hand held meter i.e. Sekonic that can measure ambient / flash % which I shoot.  You can set the flash on the hot shoe and select it for Commander mode but since I only have one that is moot for now.Lou Cioccio</blockquote>
