I never leave home without it now.
There's arguments to be made for getting the Phantom 4 Advanced/Pro rather than the Mavic, but those arguments revolve around professional photography/videography mostly. The Mavic, for most folks, is the right call.
What about the "Bayang Toys 9x", do you have better suggestions today? Because GearBest's armada of similar drones make it hard to choose a great drone for an outsider [1]. I think there are three folks who are in the majority, that aren't professional hobbyists.
Those who want a) great office+outdoor drones for under '$69', b) very fast drones with cameras for under '$249' c) high-altitude aerial drones with stablized cameras for under '$349'
Can you suggest drones that fit into these categories? =)

On the other hand, having a wireless camera that can fly anywhere has unique security and surveillance implications.

The Inductrix is a great cheap way to get started with indoor flying that wont poke an eye out.
But it's like driving a tugboat instead of a jet ski. While it does have impressive speed and power, it's all expended in service of stability. If you want to do crazy stunts at speed, dancing nimbly around the sky, you want manual-control on a racing drone.
I'm afraid to break it, I guess. I'm decent in simulators but mine flies so differently, it's quite difficult.
I'm also quite busy, so I have that excuse...
I should get over it.
With both you can use a normal transmitter if you have one and that's the best way to get a similar experience of real flight. The FrSky is the easiest to setup but a Spektrum can be made to work w/ a special adapter. I like both of them for different reasons.
It's the best value for money starter racing quad you can get. I bought it for my first drone and it's just as capable as anything you can build for twice the money.
For the goggles I'd recommend the Eachine VRD2 if you're cheap or Aomway Commander if you want low profiles.
All can be found on banggood.
Further down the page: "We are planning to get prepared to accept and fulfil your order already in 2016." Good to know. At least their latest concept illustration seems to address the props-of-doom issue.
Is this the same as the Cheerson Cx-10 that the site recommends?
VR Headset might be a bit too much, but it's probably better than a small screen mounted awkwardly to a lightweight controller.
