Considering that Alpha has upgraded the Miliary Ez to a new system, the video is outdated.
Here are a few points of comparison for you that are taken from both websites. Here are the links for you just in case.

Both use 5:1 unun, just different wrappings.
Alpha has 13' vertical, Chameleon 10.8'
Both comes with a jaw mount, chameleon is fancier
Alpha comes with a counterpoise, chameleon??
Price point:
Alpha starting at 287
Chameleon starting at 315.

If you're crafty or savvy enough you'll use the 60' wire (radiator) as counterpoise. Also it's important to notice that Chameleon Antenna is using 16 gauge PTFE wire (Teflon) for all their product.

Geee, I dunno,.............. tell me more about this "Faraday loop" thingy on the Chameleon loop antennas.

"... integrated RFI choke feed-line decouples the Faraday coupling loop from the radio which is essential to prevent SWR fluctuation ".
