I was really interested, downloaded the app and the first thing it did was tell me that I was within 5 miles of a (tiny) airport. I would have to file a date and time that I would be flying it (on my own land) 90 days before flying, and if I got rained out......file again.
Also, the certification was on the weight of the drone not the profession/commercial use.
You should be able to unlock the zone on the Go4 app. Or you can go to https://www.dji.com/flysafe/self-unlock. You will need to register for a account on the Dji website. But then you can unlock the zone and it is good for 3 days. Unless you are in a red restricted zone you should be good to fly right away.
You do not need the actual weight of your drone if you are flying for fun with the FAA. Here is the link to register your drone. The certificate is good for 3 years and you file under Section 336, it will set you back 5 dollars. https://faadronezone.faa.gov/
