We describe our current system for strobofiberscopic video recording of vocal fold vibration and our early clinical experiences. The advantages of the strobofiberscopic video system over the strobotelescopic video systems are 1) the range of subjects is wide, and 2) the patient can phonate while maintaining normal head position during examination.
