No, I don't have the visor.
My scope is set up low so it just clears the wall at the horizon. The open half dome tends to catch a pocket of air in front of it when its pointing into the wind. Its not perfect, but its better than no dome, and better than no walls especially, and the faster wind, the greater the effect of the "still" pocket in front of the dome. I've never experienced it as "still" though
.
A wall like Bird's should be better because its higher than the scope, which is fine if you aren't worried about seeing the horizon. Most APers aren't, are they? I could've gone lower in the POD, but I'd rather kick the pier than the objective of the scope!

Might have to go and say hi to Bird, he is just up the road
