Need to slow down yaw speed

ArduCopter Copter 3.5
1

I am having trouble finding a proper setting to slow down the yaw speed on my copter. I built a Daya 680 frame with 400kv motors, 15" props, and a Pixhawk 2.1. She flies great except for the yaw speed. I mean I barely touch the sticks and she spins. I want this bird to be a slow camera ship. I’m afraid to attach a gimbal because she spins so fast. How can I slow the yaw speed. I almost always fly in AltHold, or Loiter. Thank you!

Run the yaw autotune and add expo to the transmitter yaw stick, start with +30% and see how it goes.

I think you can try to change:
acro_yaw_p in parametres
http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/parameters.html#acro-yaw-p-acro-yaw-p-gain
and make it lower

Thank you for the reply. After viewing videos and reading, that seems like it may do the trick. I’ll test tomorrow morning.

That worked! I just adjusted the Expo on the Yaw stick to 30% and it slowed and smoothed everything out. Thank you!

That worked! Thank you for helping out a Taranis+/Arducopter beginner!

why there is no parameter acro_yaw_p in my MP?

Because you are looking at 5 year old info. See here for a little more recent discussion on yaw tuning.
