When flying my Mavic 2 today I was using a PGYTECH landing pad. I noticed when my Mavic 2 took off it immediately moved forward about a foot and hovered at the usual 4 feet. Any ideas why it jumps forward instead of going straight up vertical?

was it windy , or was the landing pad not on a level surface
 
Oops sorry I replied to the wrong thread... back on track now...

Ok I was launching in front of a ditch full of reeds that were about 6 feet high but they were about 15 feet away from the landing pad. I was standing about 6 feet behind to the left. I don't recollect the OA beeping. But it was moving a foot towards the reeds not away so I don't think they were causing it. It wasn't windy. I will have to move about and see if it does it in different places.
When you take of from a landing pad are you supposed to be a particular distance away?

Flew again tonight and sat 20 feet away and it was ok. Maybe me standing 6 feet away behind at 8.00 o' clock spooked it. I am sure the OA didn't sound though.
