Q: 3. What are the different between DH 12 head and PH 8 head?

A: The main difference between the Smallrig DH-12 head and the Smallrig PH-8 head is that the DH-12 has a removable 75 mm bowl to make it a flat mounting head. The PH-8 will require a 75mm bowl to mount the head. Moreover, the DH-12 has a seamless dampening adjustment for smooth, controlled movements. The PH-8 is limited to four steps. Furthermore, the DH-12 head is compatible with both DJI and Manfrotto plate styles. The PH-8 is designed to work with the Manfrotto 501-PL plate style.
