Not sure if Minolta makes shutter release cables anymore, but you should
look for one of those. They're made very well, silky smooth, and you can
virtually knot them up and they still work.

Someone once told me that Nasa used them. On their fictionary missions to
the moon. ;)

slack in its length it has minimal shock transference.
