My guess is a performance error. Clearly in the video a low flap setting was used (flaps 1)so my guess is that performance was based on a higher flap setting but the pilots used a low flap setting instead, either intentional or not. Which resulted in rotating earlier and nearly tail striking. The airport is Frankfurt which has two very long runways, so flaps 1 could of easily been used (if performance allowed).
