They look like root aphids to me man, I'd get on that quick. I can't be sure, the picture quality is pretty poor but that's my best guess from what I see. They're a motherfucker.

I have looked into predatory mites a bit, I cant say for sure what you have but I don't think it is predatory mites. Most types of predatory mites will start to eat each other when they have run out of food. The Typhlodromus pyri is a type of predatory mite that can survive on fungus and plant matter and are even clear to a milky white at times (like they looked to me in your video) though they aren't really big enough to be seen on the bucket running around. So if it was a beneficial predator mite they would have started eating themselves, any other mites are going to eat your plant!

here is a link to another site that has a write up on different predator mites you can buy online.
