As Pekka said, they do drift a bit.
Dangerous operations.

41 I'm new as well to drones and I was surprised at how much mine drifted to the right. But getting it up a couple of metres did help and when it's moving at 20 mph, you don't really notice it anymore.
Saying that, if you are going forward at 20mph and its drifting massively to the left or right, then you might have a problem.
As Lemony suggested, post a video if you can.

121 Assuming that that is you intentionally moving it away from the wall in the second half, I’m not seeing a significant amount of drift.

118 I think you are simply flying too close to the ground. Try and read up on ground effect.
Go outside, fly the quad at least 1.5 to 2 meters above the ground and keep moving away from your prop wash and then you should be able to guess if the quad is drifting.
FPV quads are not camera drones like the Mavic that have several sensors to stabilize the flight.
