Abstract: A fold-out accessory rest is for securement to a trekking or ski pole or tripod leg in a folded-up position and then easily deployed by unfolding the rest for supporting a firearm, scope, camera, or other accessory. The rest includes a rest body for mounting on a pole/leg, a strap-supporting flap rotatably connected at its lower end near a lower part of the rest body, and a rest-strap rotatably connected at a proximal end near the rest-body's middle part and at a distal end to the distal end of the strap-supporting flap. When the rest-body is deployed in its folded-out position, a firearm barrel or forestock or camera telephoto lens or other accessory may be laid upon the rest-body to steady the accessory for use.
