Mavic 2 Pro Mission Images aren't forward facing

I've flown dozens of mapping missions using the Map Pilot Pro app with my trusty Mavic 2 Pro. However this week I flew a new mission that I setup as a Normal Mission type and using all the standard parameters I typically use. This flight was over an apartment building at a (low) altitude of 100', using a 76/73 overlap. With my M2Pro this works out to about 10 total passes across the entire building. after the first pass, the orientation of the front of the drone was not forward-facing anymore, maybe a few degrees off. The subsequent passes continued the slight yaw and by the time the mission was completed, it seems the drone had turned a total of about 270 degrees to the left. Has anyone else had this issue? I don't know what could have caused the issue, obviously if it's in my settings I'm not sure how i would've set that up. The problem is that the DJI workflow won't assemble the map with the images because they're not all forward-facing. Thanks in advance! I'd like to think this old drone still has some life left in her!!!

Hmmm. That is odd. Assuming you didn't accidentally touch the yaw stick it looks to be an issue with your remote. I can see in your most recent log file that rudder value that affects the yaw of the aircraft was ticking just lower than 1024 (the default untouched value) which means it is either being touched or the remote is reporting that is being touched. This small adjustment would have then accumulated over time and resulted in a pretty big offset. 

Try to recalibrate your remote and make sure it is all clean and the sticks are traveling freely. The good news is that it doesn't appear to be anything with the aircraft and new remotes can still be gotten cheaply.

Thanks for looking at the log and providing that feedback Zane! I wasn't touching the stick, so I'll try to clean and recalibrate (and also start looking for a replacement). Thanks again- Hank
