Your second video looked much better. I was going to say about the first one that you are basically doing a deficit so when you get proper plates, you’ll be able to pull more. The uneven grass/ground doesn’t help either. The soft surface would absorb some of the force of the pull.
I don’t necessarily agree with any advice about putting your hips lower. Look at your video and see where they are when you start to initiate your pull. Start with them there. Before you initiate the pull, arch your lower back hard. In the first video, your head was down for a lot of the pull exacerbating rounding of the back. In the second one, your face was up without craning your neck, keeping your back in a much better position.

yeah, i have been reading alot of articles on the deadlift, such as this one by mark rippetoe. Ignorant When it Comes to Deadlifts?
Brad Gillingham pulls without dropping his hips, as it says about halfway down the article. my next deadlift day is soon, i’ll have to post another video with heavier weight if i feel game enough and my form is up to scratch!
