This only works if you don't actually build up a high airspeed, and then level out and let the copter "coast" through the air while level. If you do that, the wind blows the payload off the top, into the props, destroying them, resulting in a horrendous crash.
Ask me how I know. (go to 1:38)
And that canopy was actually secured to the frame, though obviously not well enough.
I would believe it better if they hadn't cut away to the flyer in the beginning - after the placement of the glass. Looks like classic FX tricks. Not to say it isn't possible. And of course, if I tried a flip, there would be way worse problems than spilled water.
I am not saying this can't be done.. I have see some universities demonstrate amazing quad aerobatics but looking at the video there is more water in the cup later in the video than that started... which to me points to this being fake. I am not saying you can't do something similar using a flight controller or other means.

I think I just threw up a little bit watching that video.

I see from a previous blog post Dominos is working on the pizza quad.
There we go. There's a challenge. A flying beer bot!
Cool...now I know my quad can serve beers at my next party!

This is actually very easy, no special flying skills required. Just a nice result of multicopter physics. Here's my quad, long time ago:
This one is fake for sure. Check out 1:32 then 3:27. Levels are way different.

No this is not fake. Aeroquad did the same thing to promote their software. Its all about momentum, you will see all movement's is smooth movement's.
