I'm very intrigued to see what they are bringing with this camera. I assume that the S1R II will not include an optical low-pass filter (OLPF), so even though the video specs are impressive there still likely will be a need for a potential S1H II. Wish they would come up with some sort of interchangeable OLPF solution.

If I remember correctly moire was quite bad when recording video on S1/S1R?

If it’s something filters and technique can’t fix there’s always Kolari. Easy fix for a lot of people on the S5iix

ou are telling me, it is more efficient to continually adjust my monopod in height multiple times from multiple positions in the crowd instead of hand holding it and taking advantage of the IBIS? 

With the right monopod, it's not that hard.  With something like the Cobra 3 from iFootage, it takes a fraction of a second to change height.

As I said before, rolling shutter at 200mm...open gate...not the best. Why open gate? Because most deliverables nowadays needs to be in 16x9 and 9x16. Rolling shutter at 70mm...fine.

It sounds like you have a really specific use case based on your subject matter and your preferences for how you shoot.  In that use case, rolling shutter is super important to you because the combination of IBIS+OIS on your body/70-200 lens leads to wobbly jello footage.

As you are seeing from this thread, not everybody shoots that way.  For most people, higher RS is fine.  And keep in mind that is coming from a person with 3 GS cameras (Komodo X, Komodo, and E2-S6G).  GS might lead me to choose them over my other cameras, but other things might lead me to choose the Ronin 4D - and with that, I will sometimes opt for the ~30-31ms readout mode that has higher dynamic range vs the ~16ms mode with standard dynamic range.  I have yet to hear a complaint from anybody when I hand over the footage.

One thing to consider for your use case is the use of something like a Ready Rig or Easyrig and a heavier camera body with a shoulder pad.  The footage is more inherently stable when using a heavier body and with more points of contact.
