I agree somewhat with
Hillerbee in that doing the turn whilst HIGE, but as you say this is impossible. This pilot then opted for the HOGE approach, and seems like he turned downwind. This seems to not have helped, coupled with some over pitching, has not helped. Perhaps he flew a Bell product earlier in the day and got confused? Perhaps he encountered some LTE and then managed to correct it, but was then in the !!!!...who knows.
IMO the route i would have taken would be the HOGE to 20' route but then found the wind once i had cleared the tree tops, got some speed on the nose and then made the turn in an area where a little descent wasn't going to make me hit something; i.e a max performance take off. Failing that i would have unloaded some more gear out of the machine and done a couple of trips.
As you say, have a little spare power. But the answer to your question is that i would have turned with power pedal.
