Default Cable release via hot shoe?

My Olympus 770UZ does not accept a convential cable release (it does have a
remote).

I called Olympus service re the above and they acknowledged that they don't
supply a cable release for this model.

However, the customer service representative explained that there is an
after market cable release available that works via the hot shoe.

I called several local retailers and they have never even heard of such a
thing.

My question: does anyone out there know of a cable release that will work
via the hot shoe?

Thanks,

Bill

I don't see how anything connected to the hotshoe could actually trip the
camera shutter. It sounds as if the service rep was confusing a hot shoe
mounted flash cable with a cable release.

Kaiser makes a strap-on cable release adapter that fits any camera with
a circumfrance of up to 6". It accepts standard screw-in cable releases.
Porter's sells them.

If your camera has a self timer and a remote, you can probably use the
remote as a cable release, albeit with timing issues from pressing the
button, to actually making an exposure.
