lovely!
Let the pros decide if it's usable to them.
As I am an amarteur and not into video I am out of judge.

Can it be controlled over WiFi or BLE? Is the control API public?Not sure about the 100-400 but the 70-200 and a ton of other lenses and cameras over and above the 1DX II & III.
Can Ronin S zoom 100-400L II remotely?
I just wonder if I can(*) write my own software to control Ronin-S wirelessly. So far, I could find no conclusive evidence of it on the Internet.It can be controlled wirelessly, I don't know the technology, again, I am not suggesting for a second it is a viable replacement for people who need the CR-S700R, all I am saying is we have similar capabilities within our control.
Doesn't look stealthy enough.Now, let's mount this on a drone of the right size.
What can’t you do with a Ronin-S that you can do with this?
Remember the context of my comment, an affordable way to get the majority of the functionality.
The context of your comment was that your DJI was nearly as capable. But it isn't.
It's a great "handheld" gimble. But these are two different types of products. The Ronin, for instance, is not built specifically to be mounted down, solidly to platform and operated remotely.
The only zooming functionality it has is by using the focus motor, which, (I could be wrong, I never try, when I rend one), can't be used at the same time as manual focus. It's an aftermarket thought for a lightweight product built to be held in the hand, not mounted to a ceiling, or strung together in a series and commanded from a remote unit.
You're getting weirdly defensive over different products in entirely different market segments.
No that was not the context of my original comment.The context of your comment was that your DJI was nearly as capable. But it isn't.

Indeed, and some of it's many features are designed to be used primarily on a tripod/fixed support. Active Track, Panning Time-lapse, Force Mobile etc are all designed to be used with the gimbal firmly mounted on a tripod.It posses that ability, just like it’s bigger brother and other gimbals, as I and others stated in previous posts. Is that the way most people use it? No. The majority are using It handheld, but it is not limited to only that use.

These are different tools meant for different job. The customer overlap is probably going to be marginal. The Ronin-S is great for what it's specifically designed for. I've rented it for star tracking shots in Michigan's UP on various occasions and it did okay. Not exactly the most confidence I've had in a product, but it did it's job fine enough that I'd probably use it again.No that was not the context of my original comment.
The Ronin-S is designed to be solidly mounted, it has both 1/4 20 and a 3/8 16 threads on the bottom, these are the industry standard, clearly you don't own or use a Ronin-S.
Again, the feature set is different but comparable enough to be considered as offering similar enough functionality for a fraction of the price for anybody that has the need but not the budget. Further, I have never said one is a direct replacement for another and I am not being defensive any more than you are being obtuse. Yes they are different products in different market segments but for those on a budget you can get 90% of the functionality of the Canon product for a lot less money, that is, you can remotely control a camera's framing and have full control over many of the camera and lenses functions while seeing the view through the camera remotely. That is not controversial and it is accurate, and anybody that doesn't accept that is being weirdly defensive.
