The second video offers another dimension which, IMO, makes it even clearer there was no control of the ball.
However, as noted, this is a judgment call and even though the umpire saw the "bobble" I doubt he saw it the same as others.
On another note, this angle also show me this umpire ended up too close to the play. That wouldn't necessarily hurt on this call, but I wouldn't want to be that close to the players, even if pointing at the ball, tag or spot of the play.
