How to Use an external microphone on lumia 1020

[WPCentral Question]

Ive trying to find out if i can use a external microphone on lumia 1020, ive read in a few posts that i can, but ive tryed with a few microphones, and it does not work, is there anything i have to do first? or does it only works with some microphones?

I don't know about the dedicated pro mics, but it does allow mic input from headphones. But still, actual mics with the pink jacks, I dont know for sure, hopefully someone else does.
