Yep it's the stock dropper post alright, but the lever button was upgraded and the post itself has needed to get rebuilt once a year for my entire ownership. The frame can't accommodate a post with the amount of range I want so I use a quick release clamp to compensate for this, and I trust a hydraulic connection for the frequent manual adjustments of the seat post more than I would trust a cable actuated one, even though they are far simpler and less maintenance.
