If you have a decent camera on your phone, a DJI Osmo Mobile 2 gimbal has some really slick features for around $140.
It has a standard tripod 1/4" mount on the bottom, so slap a quick release plate on it for easy removal, and then a camera mount clamp of some sort--this is the largest I could find (clamps up to a 4" pipe) as most camera clamps aren't made for pipe the diameter of a wakeboard tower, but measure yours a figure out what would work as the smaller clamps are significantly cheaper.
You could probably get away building this rig for around $200. All depends on your phone though. I'm running the Osmo with my iPhone X and it is pretty sick--and I'm a video editor by trade and do a lot of motorsports stuff.
Pedco makes a 4 inch UltraClamp with a built-in camera mount.
