Hassle in what sense? Just thought it might be more discrete, hey seems everyone has a DSLR these days.

Shallow depth of field, limited recording time, etc. I'd recommend one for short films, comedy and all that stuff but maybe not pranks x)

Is there a DSLR with stabilizers that are any good without having to use a glidecam or something similar? If there was a gyroscope inside one that would be sweet.

No. Wouldn't recommend a DSLR for your use. manual focus and all that is a pain.
 
Half an hour recording should be long enough for pranks surely? Pentax and Sony DSLRs are generally stabilised. Manual focus is pretty easy and some focus well enough in video mode (although varies a lot, some are pretty awful!). Stabilisation on newer lenses is generally very good. Depends really what you're doing though.

Yea, but they're not really optimal for his task, DSRLs are great at some things but this really wouldn't be it. If he was on a small budget sure, but he's got 5k to play with :p[DOUBLEPOST=1402151445,1402151403][/DOUBLEPOST]

Is the stabilization good enough to walk and use at the same time like a handycam?

You can walk at the same time with pretty much any camera, but it'll be all over the place even with good stabilisation, unless you really can keep your hands still/use a shoulder rig.
