How much would a set up camera weigh?

I'm looking into camera stabilizers for a T2i I'll be getting. How much do you think it would weigh with things like camera, big lens, small lcd, and shotgun mic...?

The camera body is about a pound; a big lens could be two pounds (though most lenses weigh considerably less); a small LCD would be either one pound or two (depending on how you define "small"); and a shotgun microphone would be half a pound or less. But I don't see how you would simultaneously mount an LCD and a microphone. Also, having all of that stuff would make the rig pretty hard to balance, I would imagine, considering the odd distribution of mass.

Please note that you will not be able to pull focus while using the stabilizer, unless you use a wireless follow focus and a lens with internal focusing. Also, you really should be recording your sound separately, rather than in-camera.
