The EcoHitch Class III Hitch # 306-X7365 has a 525 lb tongue weight capacity, per EcoHitch. Originally, they strength tested the hitch up to 350 lbs, found that it easily reached that threshold and tested it no further. Some time later, it was tested again and it was found that the hitch could safely handle up to 525 lbs of tongue weight. So, at the time the video was produced the information was correct but it changed later.
