MIOPS is a great piece of kit. Just need to be sure to thoroughly dry it out after you're done. I've used mine several times, and it does a nice job.

Pay special attention to the spacing between the water and the unit, trying to stay within 11-12 inches. The app works well and is fairly straightforward. One of the previous posters noted that the flash is what freezes the action, which is correct. It takes some practice, but it is fun. There are some good videos on YouTube that show you how to use the unit. Examples below are from my Facebook, so it's nowhere close to original quality. Just trying to give a couple of general examples.

Enjoy!

Nice shots. I have my unit and did the first run over the weekend. My hit rate is pretty poor - but I guess that will improve with practice.

I ran into some issues with Xanthan gum mixture - I think I made the mixture too thick. Any drop below 40 ms wouldn't come out and any over 100 will be a stream rather than a drop. Any thoughts here?
