Lightweight dropper post for XC racing

[Ole]

I just recently abandoned my purists views that I should be able to do any part of a ride without lowering my seatpost. One thing is being able to ride it all with the seat up, another is the manner which I can ride. My downhill speeds are greatly increased, and I am less tired.

So, I'm toying with the idea of trying one on my race bike. But there is absolutely no need for 100+ drop, I'll be happy with 30mm or so. Does such a post exist? I'm thinking, with so little drop, the whole mechanism can be a lot lighter, no need for 600g including cable.
