uae's silkhaus secures pre-series a funding for expansion

Silkhaus, a Dubai PropTech startup dedicated to transforming the short-term rental landscape in the Middle East and Asia, has recently announced a substantial pre-series A financing round. The funding comes via San Francisco-based Partners for Growth (PFG). The strategic partnership also grants Silkhaus access to a substantial credit line, which will facilitate its ambitious expansion plans.

Silkhaus harnesses cutting-edge technology to provide property owners with the essential infrastructure tools to manage and monetize their real estate assets. The startup oversees every aspect of the rental process, from handling bookings to property distribution and operations, ensuring an exceptional guest experience.

On average, property owners using Silkhaus platforms report earning between 20% to 40% more income compared to traditional rental models.

The significant cash injection means that Silkhaus is now poised to disrupt the global short-term rental sector, which boasts a valuation of over $100 billion.

dji teases dual-camera osmo pocket 4p for 2026 launch

DJI

DJI has teased a dual-camera version of its Osmo Pocket gimbal, confirming that the Osmo Pocket 4P will launch in 2026. The teaser image is the company’s first preview of the device, following months of speculation about a more advanced model in its pocket camera range.

The image shows a slightly larger device than the existing Osmo Pocket 4, with two camera modules mounted above a compact three-axis gimbal. Reports suggest one camera may use a 1-inch sensor paired with a wide-angle lens, while the second may carry a 3x zoom lens — though DJI has not officially confirmed any of these details.

According to leaks circulating ahead of the launch, the Osmo Pocket 4P could support 4K video at up to 240 frames per second, offer 14 stops of dynamic range and include 10-bit D-Log color support. Those features are commonly used by filmmakers who require greater flexibility during color grading and post-production. Reports also point to Hasselblad color tuning, continuing a partnership that has already appeared in some of DJI’s drone cameras, along with up to 128GB of built-in storage that would reduce reliance on external memory cards during longer shoots.

The device is expected to retain features from the existing Osmo Pocket 4, including a three-axis mechanical gimbal, updated ActiveTrack subject tracking and a flip-out touchscreen display. The Osmo Pocket line is aimed at content creators, vloggers, and independent filmmakers seeking compact equipment that can produce usable footage without a larger camera system.

DJI has not provided pricing or a specific launch date beyond the 2026 window. Industry observers expect the Osmo Pocket 4P to cost more than the standard Pocket 4 because of the dual-camera setup and expanded recording capabilities, though no figures have been disclosed. So far, most of the technical detail circulating around the product remains tied to leaks rather than official confirmation.
