I’d like to see your smart phone get that better video while you are sitting on a vibrating helicopter outside the visual and audio range of the people you are filming.

Folks just don’t grasp the essential here. The whole point is to film the Iranians removing the mine. To do that, the helo cannot be seen or heard. IOW, it’s many miles away.

Let’s see your smart phone do that.

The whole point is to film the Iranians , or ones claimed to be Iranian, removing the mine.

Frankly, I'm just a wee bit skeptical of any factoid we are spoon fed by someone with an agenda to create a let's-you-and-him-fight scenario.

What's the first casualty of any war, again?

Looking at the video it appears to have been filmed 100-200 yards away at best using lenses to get a closer look, not several miles. I doubt those in the helo were concerned about being seen after the fact and would have moved in as close as possible to better ID the attacking vessel. They have non thermal optics, why use blurry thermal imaging in broad daylight when they had other options?
