How to film backwards (maintain Yaw throughout mission)

@AndreasSolo wrote:

To make sure I avoid the propellers in my video I am trying to set up a mission in Tower to have my 3DR Solo always point the camera backwards, i.e. set Yaw to 180 relative degrees for the entire mission. I'm trying to follow an undulating river, so an ROI won't work for this. A couple of questions:
1) What exactly does the "Relative" checkbox mean when you set the Yaw as a waypoint? I assumed it would mean "relative to the heading of the vehicle", but I'm getting results that make me question this.
2) When I set the Yaw, it only seems so apply up until the directly following waypoint, and then it resets the Yaw to the direction of travel. Is there a way to apply a Yaw-setting for an entire mission?

What is the closest thing to a manual for the Tower app anyone has found? Personally I am writing down all the lessons I've learned about how the app works from trial and error. Lacking an app manual, has anyone started gathering such notes from users to compile into a web page or similar?

Many thanks,
Andreas
