Anyone know if this exists? I tried Googling for one and I managed to find a bunch of news articles from 2004 all claiming it's imminent, but I haven't seen any real products yet.

My work has a nice HD camera mounted on a rolling tripod. Right now its distance is limited to the 12' FireWire cable we have. We'd like to be able to wheel it around anywhere in the room without buying a new cable and having it laying around all over the place.

Wireless 1394 (and a few other things) was aborted when the two industry factions (WiMedia and WirelessHD) with mutually exclusive proposals for implementation decided that deadlocking the working group (802.15.3a) was better than implementing the other guy's standard. More details here.
