How do you eliminate yaw drift while stationary at any elevation?

I'm trying to photograph while stationary above my target, but the aircraft yaws. I recall there is a correction for this, but can't remember what it is.

Can someone tell me how to eliminate yaw drift? Thanks.

If the aircraft is yawing without any stick input, it maybe that your RC needs calibrating.

Agree. If it always drifts in the same direction relative to the aircraft, then it is likely that there is a small input coming from the joystick controlling that direction. Assuming you are in GPS mode with sufficient satelites.

Assumption correct. Is there a way to eliminate the unwanted joystick input?

I'll calibrate and see if that eliminates yaw. Thanks.
