Yup!
Great for launching multi-tools during tea stops.
And yes, it did release spontaneously on a few occasions. Nowhere near as painful as I feared thankfully.
Now got a nice smooth KSLev one, though I remember being pretty frustrated at how slow it was to rise vs the TMARS one.
Still would recommend picking one up if you're on a budget or fancy dipping your toe in the world of dropper posts without committing £100+.
Replacing the cable was a pain as far as I recall though. They're don't take regular gear/brake cable ends, so I'd have to take a road brake cable and file down the end until it was small enough to fit in the release mechanism.
