There are three variants ... the stovl (short take off and vertical landing) version that is shown in the video (the F-35B), the airforce version, the F-35A that is the ctol (conventional take off and landing) variant ...and the carrier varient, the F-35C ... which has stronger landing gear and a tail hook.

Short video of the stovl variant doing a take off ... love it when all the doors come open and the nozzle rotates... this is the test flight version with the side open doors ... the first production ones have the bigger single piece door that opens to the back to help airflow into the lift fan :
