Looks like a TR servo hardover since it is yawing left at a constant rate throughout - it appears the pilot had sufficient lever in to control the RoD and maintain a manageable rate of rotation.

He was probably trying to diagnose the problem all the way down and just misjudged the point he needed to cushion the touchdown - he had spun round enough times to be disorientated.
